The Longest Day

It was 5AM (or so I was told).  "Can I watch something?"  I stumbled out and damn near collapsed on the slumber party mattress.  "Today is the longest day!"

Already, this early, I think you're right.

Make bacon as fast as possible, essentially ignored as I leave home.  Off to show up when others don't.  Wait, wait...eh, fuck it.  Gotta go to the mill.

Meetings cancelled, time for reflection.  This will be a full day in terms of sun...let's try to keep it otherwise. 

Deals discussed.  A few laughs, nod in agreement.  Off to get sun.  And to think, on this very spot yesterday, I ate what was reported to be dinosaur meat.  (Not as gamey as I anticipated, but not that tender, either)  After more wood was chopped, I returned to view the horizon.  The sun was unrelenting, though an ocean breeze kept it cool. 

In-between bites of a Cuban sandwich I reminded all that there was much left to do with all this sun.  So we headed home and pet dogs for a while.

Goof and more goof, then a fleeting look outside brought an already-set sun.  Check it out...let's hang on.  To what, specifically?  The feeling.

It was dusk...I laid down and she sang me a tune.  The sun doesn't stay long in southern states, it's true.  We boogie on after dark.
