Grammar

I wonder if we think in tenses too much.
The past and future suffocate us at times - obscuring and sabotaging pure joys to be had in the present.

I'd like to programme my mind to think the way I write. I'd like to be able to edit out the rough work - check my tenses and rework the grammar.

Will you be my proofreader? Get out your red pen and mark me up.

Sancerre

I sipped your abandoned glass and thought carefully about the taste.
I looked down at my tired feet and considered a change.

The call came sooner than I expected.
What next?

Time is running short. Like the last hours on a flight before landing.
I'm anxious about the arrival.

In retrospect perhaps the departure should have been my concern.
