sundays

i don't have a monday to friday schedule, but sundays still have a feeling of their own.

they have a feeling of wistfulness about them

they sigh

they smile coyly

they run on a different time scale and the volume is lower

sundays are for hand-holding and private jokes between lovers
for musical guilty pleasures like weezer and xx
for tv guilty pleasures like ren & stimpy and raising hope
for visiting art galleries or cinemas or somewhere that slows time a little
for baking chocolate cake or banana bread
for leaving the house clothed, but without underwear and getting away with it
for calls home
for dyeing hair or painting nails
for banging nails into things
for doing crosswords, or sudoku, or solitaire or chess with friends
for staring at the ceiling a little longer
