Soft-focus clouds filled up the sky with fluffy abandon. Blueness was pale and mostly covered. The breeze was cool and light. It was a little difficult to breath. Mugginess was in potential. Orb of Sun was behind glowing gaps that were more like melting dumplings. A blackbird screeched loudly when directly over my head. Yellow lovebirds chirped. It was definitely overcast, absorbing clear chance of daylight. Her mountain of love held a hazy veil.  A wasp expertly navigated around me. A crow cawed once from the distance. Traffic rolled at a steady clip. Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

Soon all of the blue was gone. It was swallowed up by more grey cloud. Her mountain of love darkened. I was a little bit tired. A lone cicada briefly quacked at 10:25. The tree green that was inspiring. I could not stop sensing her essence. Current flowed and I felt the shapes of critical regions that were formed by overexertion.  A siren whistled at 10:30. At the same time, a lawnmower began.  I stayed true to my course, for the ardent heart of my beloved.  I was writing in my Imagine love diary on the roof for her. Yellow lovebirds were chirping nearby, squeaking like baby bath toys. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

Vibrations of energy were strong despite my morning’s fatigue. Sirens wailed again at 10:49. I was aching to hold her sweet hand. A gigantic wasp landed on the yellow brick wall. She was at least 2 inches long, with a tube shaped body. She carried a very long stinger. Her long brown wings masked her yellow striped body. She passed me with a deep crackling buzz. She thoroughly explored a range of wall. I never saw a wasp this size in my life. I moved away from my chair until the formidable insect was gone. That’s when I noticed a blueberry resting on the elevator room platform. I wondered how it got there. Sirens wailed again at 11:04.  Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

A crow flapped over the trees and cawed as she landed in the shimmering tree. She cawed 4 times and then 5. She left the tree with her crow companion. Kids in the schoolyard enjoyed themselves on the elaborate play contraption. Today only kids from rooms 25 and 29 were allowed to climb on.  I spend time watching at the double slide, making sure they were using it safely. I returned home in a good mood. My baby therapy loves her birth cure. My diving judge loves her four gold jury.  My great dream restored loves her bridging mend. My affirming answer loves her healing agreement. My departed spirit cutting an apple loves her coffin counseling. My sunset theatre loves her rainbow drama. My shaman purification loves her complete climax. I love her lunar black bible verse from my Egyptian box “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” –Matthew 5:4. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” –Revelation 21:4.  “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” –James 4:10.  “He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.” –Matthew 4:6. I love Anna Dirksen.

Lisa sings “I’m the saddest kid in grade number 2.”  After dreams about forced smiles, Marge finally tells her daughter “If you want to be sad be sad, honey” because Gob is thinking about bees, while Lindsay is thinking about beads. Tobias’s self-help book The Man Inside Me is catching on in the gay community. Gob complains he’s the 1^st born,(there was something 2^nd)  He says he is always 3^rd in the family, and always finishes 4^th  place. He feels like the 5^th wheel. Gob concludes “There are 6 things I am mad about.” George Michael meets Anne for the first time. George Sr. feigns a heart attack during his polygraph test.
