Drifting

"You look good," I told her. "You've gotten sun."

"Oh, quit it. You make me blush. I did get sun. I've just been lying about. I haven't known what to do, so I have been lying out at my friend's pool. These are gorgeous days, but I don't feel equal to them. I am drifting. It is a helpless feeling, really, and I have to work to keep my anxiety levels down. There's always too much to do and too much that I can't do. I think I just want to be taken care of. You know what I mean?"

"Sure I do. All the time. But I've never found anybody who is willing to do that for free. The price is always too high."

These days are gorgeous here just now. Nobody could be equal to them. Sometimes, there is nothing to say. If you are lucky enough, you are taken by the desires of others. If you are luckier still, it will make you all happy.
