I Hope Tomorrow Is As Close To This Good

drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper,
watching the NBA All-Star Game,
and reading a book about comedy.

it's a nice night,
and I try to soak it in,
because I haven't relaxed
in four fighting years.

I will work on the novel,
revisiting old characters,
and try to "finish" the damn thing.

I planted a garden today
with a good girl;
cilantro and basil,
radishes and chives.

she painted rocks
and placed them in
and around the pots.
