Today is the Day!

this day

on this day the daylilies are extremely excited

they love every day

but this is a very big day in the daylily world.

I can tell by the way they toss their heads

like sexually charged up thirteen year old girls

when the basketball team strolls the halls.

this is the day

that all the plot tangles fell out leaving

a perfectly clear narrative line

instead of the bottom of the fishing tackle box

that I'd been looking at for too long.

this is the day

that my dearest guy says sure

I'll do the shopping and why don't I sweep up before I go

and my step-son goes with him

wanting to be away from

mercurial mood I'm sure.

this is the day

my long-lost friend arrives

and the sheets for her bed are drying on

a most perfect drying day

and towels are plumped up on the dresser

and flowers are put in a wavy green glass

on the bedside table.

this is that day!
