Things that are broken:
Car, heat source, nervous system of a loved one, inter-Australian relations, ability to trust contemporary art, food processor, one cat’s memory for proper use of the litter box, US's geopolit cred, Cmas momentum, one bad habit for 4 days and counting, my patience for neighbor overly concerned with our preparedness: “Are you ready for Halloween/snow/Cmas?” “Have you not pried up your patio boards to clean out the quarterly gunk?”
