the green-primed thru-truss bridge looks dreamlike in deep twilight,

and there's always the river to consider.

this is the time when the city on the far edge of the Taunton

displays itself in a series of semi-precious gems of incandescence

set in relief upon the sweeping hillside.

on this edge of the river sits

a variety store a quarter mile down the road,

and I'm looking forward to cooking a fried egg,

sunny side-up for tomorrow's mid-morning breakfast.

the car’s in the driveway.

(last night I noticed a slight tingling sensation

running through my arms to my fingertips and

questioned who would know the meaning of such things.

I should mention it at the required wellness appointment.)

in a while, I'll drive to "Jayne's Country Store"

for a visual assessment of the bread and eggs I'll need,
confident in favorable conclusions.

"I'll take this loaf of bread and this carton of eggs."

now that it comes to mind, I believe I'll enjoy two

eggs, sunny side-up for tomorrow's mid-morning breakfast.

the car's in the driveway.

who am I kidding.

I'm not going anywhere, tonight or tomorrow.

I don't know why the doldrums surround me on occasion, but

I hear-tell that certain animals actually doze-off

standing on their feet although it takes the four legs of them to do it,

and in due time I'll check to see if the car's still in the driveway.
