so today i baked
brownies
(though it was,
i admit,
from a mix)
and tilapia
(with lemon, pepper,
garlic,
and parsley)
and then
i made some
balsamic noodles
(with carrots
and 18-year-old
aged balsamic
vinegar)
and then
i tried to teach myself
moonlight sonata
(in C# minor
on the piano,
an instrument
i can’t play)

all of which
i’ve never tried before
(besides brownies)
and all of which
went well
(though i will
continue
the sonata
tomorrow)

i would call today mighty fine
and mighty successful.
