I have to drive to Hollywood today

To check on the mailbox for a friend

Who moved east

The post office is on Cherokee

That made me think of Lynn Finch

Then I will return a Mahjong set

To a friend who taught many of us women how to play

And then I will visit my friend who is blind and fell and broke her arm yesterday when she fell over the open dishwasher door

“God news!” she told me on the phone

“It’s a clean break! No surgery required!”

She was so grateful

It’s good to be happy over broken things

Especially when it’s a clean break.
