The Daily Poem

THE GALAXY OF TWINS

A distant star of low degree,

Caught up in gravity's immense abyss,

Alone inside an empty sea,

A zone where none can find and all will miss

Its special form of chemistry.

A twinning dual of mirrored eyes

In orbits paralleling two for two,

Forever splitting, Y's on Y's,

In ways beyond our earthly view,

Forever lifting skies on skies.

I found it in the lonesome night;

I pulled it from my window's square of stars.

And now, my love, I give the sight

To you and only you; this place of ours,

This secret twinkling point of light.

Journal: Down to Hemet with Mimi.  Went to Compass, Wells Fargo, and Bank Of America inquiring about 0% Foreign Transaction Fee credit cards.  No luck anywhere.  Lunch at Taco Bell.  Bought a year's supply of Low Dose Aspirin.  Bought some heavy duty metal shelving for the workshop.  Got to put my shop in order before we leave.  It's going to take some doing.  After all the shopping was done we went to see Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in "The Tourist".  A good old fashioned mystery!  Mimi made a a big taco salad when we got home.  See's Candy for desert.  Mom started on Zithromycin today for her bronchitis.  After dinner we built a fire and played Rummy on the couch.  Work called during the afternoon asking if I could do ACM (Admissions Case Manager) as well as Nursing Supervisor tomorrow from seven to seven.  What could I say but yes? Only five more shifts to go.
