Slice of Life: The Girls Are Home

    I'm doing my best to keep up with slicing on Tuesdays! All are welcome! Join us at Two Writing Teachers!

The girls are home. 

There's chocolate cake 

Baked at 10.

(That's 10 p.m.)

And workouts that include

Too many abs

And frog jumps,

And burpees. 

There are debates over whether

to watch

The Bachelorette because 

it's home visits

or

The season finale of The Voice. 

There a new Taylor Swift album

Instead of my 

new Bruce Springsteen album,

And seltzer cans, empty,

On the piano

After a session of 

Playing and singing and composing.

 

There's extra laundry,

And extra crumbs,

And extra dishwasher loads,

And extra noise. 

And 

extra, 

extra,

joy. 

The girls are home.
