Whoosh – 100 words

January 22, 2023 By Ellen

Whoosh

From a tools-down Friday

it stretches languorous as a lion

ready for a long leisurely lope.

You can hardly see the end

for the mountains of ease, and fun, and possibility, you have stacked,

though beyond are industrial mounds of must-dos, should-dos and I’ll-damn-well-never-dos.

Cargo depots for the byproducts of adulthood.

Such an unreasonable burden for two perfectly ordinary days.

Saturday afternoon is in full swing when it becomes clear –

you might be too busy to notice –

that you’re almost half-way through.

Nearing peak weekend

with nothing but the downhill slither

into the lumpen crash barriers of Sunday night.

Ozzy getting into the swing of his weekend
Yumi’s roller-coaster weekend
