SNIPPET

Open the door
stick out my arm
no jacket today
morning air is tending warm.

Step outside
breath fresh air in
along with pollen's tang
sneezes begin.

Sneeze a bit, cough a bit
then lift my eyes to rising sun,
walk to my truck and get inside.
Spring work day has begun.

This reminds me of home and my life, so I find it familiar. It's a snapshot, that brief moment in time, which in its self, is unremarkable, yet it creates an enduring memory. Jx
