Light Wednesday

I dreamed the title words it took all day to understand them light Wednesday is how I grew up half the businesses in town would close on Wednesday afternoons hasn't the world grown a bit too busy I can remember my father coming home at noon for a sit down lunch the whole family gathered round who can do that now Wednesday afternoon you could not find a dentist or a doctor unless you too were at the golf course long lunches were even tolerated on my college road crew summer jobs on light Wednesday afternoons I remember breaking early for the fishing hole I often walked when I could have gone by car my dog liked it better that way as we sniffed out signs of life along the creek
