smell the coming weekend

 

Friday 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 Friday has seen the hopes for the new week dashed

Ground down under the cold efficient heel of another regularly scheduled meetings

about warmth, artistry and meeting our new sales goals for the quarter. 

Keep up with your TPS reports!

So dawn comes on a Friday,

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.

Friday's motto is,

"Close enough to smell the coming weekend"
