Tired

Tired, so tired
from calling and delving
thinking and questioning
singing and
driving and parking.

From rain and windshield wipers
salading and burgering
talking and worrying
coffeeing and carrying.

Waiting and watching and holding
stopping [donuts and juice for a little girl,
ice cream and cheesecake for an old man]
asking and listening
wondering, crying
and texting.

Nourishing, guiding, teaching, thanking, observing.

Loving.

My pretty white flip-flops got dirty from the puddles.

I know I will fall asleep in 5 seconds flat.
