1. The Gas Pump Has Too Many Questions
Rewards number?
Car wash?
Receipt?
Zip code?
I came for fuel.
Now I am taking an exam outdoors.
2. I Still Keep Receipts For No Reason
They go from pocket to counter to drawer.
Then they become historical documents.
Someday I may need proof
I bought bananas in June.
3. The Ceiling Fan Chain Is Always The Wrong One
One turns on the light.
One changes the speed.
I pull both,
and the room enters negotiations.
4. My Shoes Make More Decisions Than I Do
I used to choose shoes by occasion.
Now I choose by forgiveness.
If they support my arches,
they are invited everywhere.
5. This Week’s Unexpected Gratitude
A shady parking spot.
Not close.
Not fancy.
Just shaded.
A summer blessing.
