Yesterday

Yesterday two bombs went off at the Boston Marathon.

Yesterday I annoyed my mother and disappointed my father.

Yesterday dust gathered in the corners.

Yesterday pictures of dead girls flashed on newscasts.

Yesterday I took deep breaths of fresh Spring air.

Yesterday we hooked up a satellite.

Yesterday my niece complained of sadness.

Yesterday I smiled at a room full of strangers.

Yesterday we sat silently in a room.

Yesterday my Nan thought her sleeping friend was dead.

Yesterday a dog walked through a field with me.

Yesterday I learned that cuttlefish are born motherless.

Yesterday glaucoma took away a friend’s driver’s license.

Yesterday we hugged in front of the kitchen window.
