Bread baking day
This is how Sunday
became baking day.
Saturday is when I make
our bread, sourdough
or multigrain or both,
but our son called early
seeking advice on a tricky
bathroom plumbing issue
so I’m loading up tools
in the back of my car
to go help an engineer
who still calls an English-major
father to conspire on certain
home improvements.
Play by play
Listening to baseball
in the yard, we two,
citronella candles
between us for light
as peepers & crickets
provide a summer
play by play.
