SUNDAY AT HOME

 Dreamed I broke my glasses. I hadn't.
Metaphors come to mind.

Morning
Looking East
 
A whole bag of Avocado went South.
Brown before their time.
Last time I buy non-organic, though I said that last time.

Afternoon
Looking Up

News
Iran/Iraq/NATO/
Australia/India/Africa/
America
"Tens of thousands of people, some covered in Israeli flags and others singing Hebrew songs, poured into Lower Manhattan on Sunday in a show of solidarity for New York’s Jewish community in the wake of a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in the region in the last month."

Night
7:30 p.m.
 Sirens
8:30 p.m. Below

TV
Watching the past mindlessly

A Modern Declaration
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
(shamelessly deleted format)

"I, having loved ever since I was a child a few things, never having wavered In these affections; never through shyness in the houses of the rich or in the presence of clergymen having denied these loves; Never when worked upon by cynics like chiropractors having grunted or clicked a vertebra to the discredit of these loves; Never when anxious to land a job having diminished them by a conniving smile; or when befuddled by drink Jeered at them through heartache or lazily fondled the fingers of their alert enemies; declare That I shall love you always. No matter what party is in power; No matter what temporarily expedient combination of allied interests wins the war; Shall love you always."
