Don’t blame me if your teacup wasn’t washed. It lured you back to blame me.	Raking the lettuce into salad bowls so my tomatoes can jump. Baking soda mistakes embitter finest chocolate cookies of winter • Terry Trowbridge © 2025

Tiny Road Rage Chickadee flying around the corner of the barn almost collides with the back of my head and lets fly hemidemisemiquaver epithets from the lilac twigs for longer than feels necessary. Eye contact doesn’t shoo him away so one of us is having that kind of a day. • Terry Trowbridge © 2025
