Another Thursday

 

Thursday is so often confused with Friday, 

Thursday's younger and much more popular sibling

that I feel the need to give it it's due

here in the mid summer

that time when all the new grass has flowered, gone to seed and died

a time when one gives a thought to what kind of winter is in store for us

always looking ahead

the past is gone

the future is uncertain

so without further ado

Thursday comes in, not on little cats paws like the fog

but comes clomping in wearing an old pair of Doc Martins

with knotted laces, spattered with mud, one broken heal hanging akimbo

splashing coffee on the just mopped floor

Because Thursday has seen the hopes for the new week dashed

Ground down under the cold efficient heel of another regularly scheduled meeting about warmth, artistry and meeting our new sales goals for the quarter. Keep up with your TPS reports!

So dawn comes on a Thursday,

the early opening bud of the weekend

no rain, more heat, some swell but wind too.

trying to makeup for a weeks

 worth of disappointments

with a brief day of respite at the shore.

Thursday's motto is,

"Close enough to smell the coming weekend"
