What I've Noticed

Various things I have observed since spring has set in.

1. Authority pressure to go outside is less, but the resulting guilt when you don't is greater.

2. There is only one flower in our garden. It is blindingly yellow, and sitting in the middle of a bush. I guess the free spirits always come first.

3. Being outside without a coat feels like floating.

4. I have trouble walking when I have to concentrate on the weather.

5. Baseball isn't a game, it's an antidepressant. (Yes, even for Mets fans.)

6. I have a strange strain of writer's block, which is why I am writing so many lists. I feel like I've used up my mental stocks of poetry- I keep reaching for one, but the cupboard is bare. I am itching to write a poem right now...
