Well, what do you say we make this a good day
it’s the one we have and the birds are already singing,
the space heater is humming but just for an early hour
and soon it will warm for the next few months
and there will be thunderstorms and everything we can have
and everything we can’t have
is in its place, more or less
and I can smell the smoke from Gates barbeque
drifting up the hill,
merging with lilac bloom,
so let’s make this a good day
