MLMM Wordle #214 – On the Road

Looking in the mirror, Joe’s first thought was, “I look like she put a hex on me! This sober lifestyle is counterintuitive to my health! No longer the life of the party by reputation, but brooding and moody. Maybe I’ll calculate putting myself up for ransom. My old dealers would appease, even think themselves fortunate not to have lost their best customer. This salubrious living is bringing me down, man. She said she loves me, trying to train me to change my ways. Recovery is a misnomer.”

ODP: Parade

Put on that smile

Step lively

Dance to the music provided

It’s a holiday parade!

Never look to the side

The people lying in the doorways

Focus on the balloons

Put your attention towards the revelry

Macy’s windows decorated

All envied happy scenes

Never mind the pain you see

The hopelessness, loneliness

As they gaze wantingly

To join in the celebration

They’ll be okay tomorrow

It’s just Christmas, just another day like all the rest.
