The 25th Hour
Sometimes it takes the mpst strength to simply let go. For twenty years I've stubbornly clutched this habit. I let go for three years in my 20s, only to start right back. For the last fifteen years I've woke up And raced straight to it every single morning— I couldn't "wake up" without it.

Tax Return Haiku
Note: I was avoiding looking at any of my tax papers. I often owe more than I think I could make, and this year, I felt, there would be a continuation of the usual gouging. Well, I just found out my accountant was a genius with my bills and expenses and I am actually getting something back. I just checked the portal my long-time accountant uses online to see what magic he practiced this year.
