Today

Trees swaying in the wind, dancing to the rythym

Things swimming in the pool, gracefully, or not, gliding in the water

Sun beating in the windows causing my skin to glisten, I mean sweat

Eyes squinting at the brightness of the day unfolding

Dryer humming it's tune, washer shaking, working, cleaning

Vacuum waiting to be used, clean floors littered with popcorn kernels

Large tent, housing sleeping bags from sleep over and nerf guns

Footballs being kicked into a raggedy net

Blank pages waiting to be filled with placement essays

Tired eyes filling the house

Tap, tap, tap of the keyboard

The sounds of our house today
