Day 206 — The Only Poem

[for Wednesday, July 25] My vacation from the internet earlier today (Wednesday) was actually quite nice. Granted, I was practically under house arrest while I waited for the landlord to call me back, but it was still a very quiet, contemplative morning and afternoon.

This cardinal…
