Pipe Dream
Last night I had a very vivid dream - I dreamed of joists and beams and pipes and wires, of marble white and black and gray and cream, of leaks and dust and accidental fires, of two by fours, three quarters, triple panes, cast iron, polished chrome and satin nickel, of polishes and finishes and grains, of lovers past - yes, Morpheus is fickle - of new beginnings for the older ends, of vintage but minimalistic faucets, of once but not again forever friends, of wooden deck with cables stretched across its unfinished length of brown ipe wood, of everything that hides behind the covers, of all the plans that were misunderstood, and then again of present perfect lovers - then I woke up all sweaty from the strife, and I admitted, paraphrasing Ovid: I’m glad that I was born to live this life, when all we got to struggle with is COVID.

The end of the world
This season the end of the world came early - before the first snow, and wizards that were in the know announced it was out with the old. All large screen TVs went on sale, including A90 from Sony and while deals on carpets were phony, who ever buys carpet retail? "Buy now!

The "Doomsday Scenario" play sold out at the Kennedy Center but those who were waiting to enter were told to expect a delay. All channels, newspapers and sites kept talking of social distance and warned that unholy resistance may lead to constriction of tights. Disruptions in TP supplies were blamed on addiction to fiber, on China, on hoarding, on cyber and on presidential lies. Fresh out of traditional foes - like Spectre and Blomfeld and Russians - the Bond crew was deep in discussions with Martians and UFOs. Last rites and advice to get stoned were offered to procrastinators - but then due to shortage of waiters the end of the world got postponed.

The Holiday
Safely shielded from the deadly rays of a purple sun by an old lava outcropping, he sleepily relaxed into a large semitransparent pancake. Slow crimson vortices of thoughts unhurriedly dissolved among the green net of his brain. “Tomorrow” – he thought, - “Tomorrow…”
