Steady Now

I found myself incapable today—dropping things, losing things, driving the wrong way in a parking lot where the arrows seemed, uniformly and inexplicably, to be pointed the wrong way.

I found no lift for the tango, no energy for the book I'm reading, no time to think, and I know the organic chicken is too expensive, but honestly, I wish I had bought it for the meal tonight. It would have made the day's end so much better.

Today I could have used an older brother's steadying arm.
