Compromise (Day 652)


What I want:

An end to this.*

A goodnight kiss.

A big bowl of 

   cannoli dip.

A three-month,

   solo Paris trip.


What I’ll get:

A few late nights.

More time to write.

A spicy, homemade,

   vegan meal.

A coffeeshop with

   urbane appeal.

*For the curious: By “this” I mean the Trump administration and the GOP war against US democracy.
