[Note: I’m doing a 26-word post on the first day of each month of 2026. It’s an exercise in concision and precision, which every writer should attempt now and then. Also Note: This explanation is separate from the 26-word count. Also Note: I’ve posted a haiku. To make the word count, I’ve included a headline for the haiku.]

Winter falls behind
Spring edges into summer
May makes time stand still
