Huddled in a darkened room in the back of the house. Door closed. Curtains drawn, sunlight dully spilling through. I’m afflicted. Sniffles. Congestion. Cough. It’s midday, but I’ve not left the bed except to get a drink of water, take medicine, or go pee. The space heater is on in the room, making it all …

“Sniffles gone sides, sniffles got me down, Plug along, I plug along, feeling a little frown, Across my face, it spills, taking a few more pills, medicines, I'm reticent to say, not feeling so good today, worse by the hour, Sniffles piling up, they're piling up, as I go down, feeling real down, Lot's to …

Not working so well? ADAPT. Preferred or planned steps tripping you up? That perfect route not working out? ADAPT. GOOD.

Piecemeal a life, sometimes seems that way. Guided mostly by sense and circumstance, focused on finding the good, Would that I kept to the plan, list, rigid and in oft need of revision, Instead piecemeal my way, weekend, chores, writing, work, sometimes even sleep, life, Responding and making the best of it, this my way.

Gotta know how to play, gotta know, gotta know, Word puzzles, fun, if ya know, Wordle in this case, don’t let it disgrace, Settle in, take a spin, let your mind wander, let your mind ponder, Just what it could be, what it could be, Learn the rules, tricks, Don’t be a stickler, you’ll get …
