Joe answered the door, was distressed

Knew it was because of his guest

Laughing Along With A Limerick

“Don’t shut me out! Now it seems every day of our relationship as a couple, you try to push me away. You must think I’m not worthy of compassion, but I care for you deeply. How can we get back to where we first fell in love? What is one solitary thing I can do to make you less angry all the time? When we started out, our future together seemed bright, a copy of our parents’ lives, but now you seem unsettled. I fear you might take wing and leave me. What can I do?

No bindings
No heavy blankets
My consciousness
In endless windings
Eyes drooping under pressure
No dream state or comforting prayer
Drapes closed, even darkness
These thoughts cannot harness
I only want to sleep
Sadness wants into creep
I need a change
Bring the light

The internet stopped. It’s been very slow. I looked at the panel, saw switches in rows. I flicked a few that had no lights. They refused to move, were really tight! Well guess I’m done surfing for tonight!

Breaking the bonds of inertia, Joe raised his arm holding an empty beer glass, an apparent signal to his friend, Nick who just got home. “Where ya been, Nick?”

“Oh, I was out checking on what’s happening after work on Saturday. I guess they ran out of weekends for festivals because there’s absolutely zipola happening!”

“Well what’s happening right now is, I’m ready for another beer, so how bout it?” Nick sighed and went to the fridge.
