Watching my dog sniff

the air and ground with eager

curiosity, I grin.

~

My grin is somewhat

bittersweet, given recent

inevitabilities.

Time and distraction

can give us the distance

to see more clearly.

~

Everyone needs space

to find a clear perspective

amidst such obfuscation

I know; change is hard,

but there’s one old blogging dog

that taught this pup some new tricks!

~

This old blogging dog

was forced to learn new tricks

by an upstart pup.

Who knows what we’ll find

if we open our eyes and

set all assumptions aside?

~

Let’s assume WordPress

makes changes not just on whim

and embrace block editing.

Just like pulling teeth,

these needlessly dramatic,

circular conversations.

~

A drama a day

keeps facing unpleasant truths

at bay where it’s hoped they’ll stay.

Even though the truth

stares us in the face, we’ve learned

to rely on lies.

~

Truth’s hard to swallow

while lies slide down real easy

when you only talk the talk.

Here at the Drive-in,

yes, promise, they still exist,

watching vintage commercials!

~

This vintage mother

sits at home viewing Netflix,

no commercials, on tv.

A brief time away

can alter your perspective

And recharge your very soul.

~

When we leave behind

our familiar daily cares,

we often regenerate.
