He was coming down the hill, and the other was going up. They were on the other side of the street from one another (social distancing, you know). As they came almost parallel, each slowed, nodded, and issued greetings.

“My car?”
“Isn’t the white Tesla your car?”
“How’d you know?”

The despised wind is here,
ruffling my ginger fur,
and cutting through my sunshine.
Teasing all my senses,

Oh, the despised wind is here,
so I’m heading there,
into the house where it’s not.
