Back to work, back to practicing flute

no,
not working on anything where
someone's life might depend on it,
no,
not remembering anything from the last flute lesson,
the teacher will say, "we talked about that last time"
and I will smile and say, "oh?"
no
bike ride to work, flood waters lap
the edges, the underpasses are all full of muddy water.
yes,
it's good to be back to some normalcy,
staring at a computer monitor, some Matlab code,
some French,
ignoring the mud on the kitchen
floor, it can
wait.
