The air is warm this morning
Unseasonably warm for October
My windows are open
And Kitty is talking about rabbits
In the quiet morning
Beneath the cool blue sky
The sun still below the horizon
As Venus fades quickly in the light

Observation - January 2nd, 2017, Monday
Observation
It is 4:00 pm, and the rain is freezing.
The rain covers everything in a thickening layer of ice, a slurry
of slush and snow.
It was warm today, but the temperature is falling, dropping
below zero.
There are people outside, they have no shelter.
Some will not make it through the night.
I am warm in my house.
My cat does not give a care for the world, except to see through
the window a bird, a rabbit, or a squirrel.

Observation - August 1st, 2016, Monday
Observation
It is 4:00 am and dark outside.
The streets are quiet.
My cat is sleeping nearby on her blanket, atop the book
case. My gal, in the bed behind the closed door.
It is warm. The air is heavy in the house.
I am listening to the news, the voices are muffled over the low
pitched noise of the humming fan, on the end table by my desk.
The coffee maker beeps, beeps, beeps…it is telling me that
the warming plate below the pot is about to switch off.
I do not care for the sound of its alarms.
