forward march

just wondering:

how many of you

have those days

when there are

perhaps 5 thou-

sand things that

must be done &

there's not a single

one that does get

done, due to the

fact that you've

spent the whole

day trying to avoid

not that which must

be done but that

which must be faced.

and the truth of it is

that that which much

be faced really isn't a

big deal? today, by mid-

afternoon, it seemed a

good idea to just deal

with one thing, and i

did (here). looks like a

book one probably doesn't

want to put off reading,

you think? here's to a more

productive tomorrow.

cheers.

thread

i think i would

like to make a

movie with

this. the

heroine

would be

daring and

not quite 11

and

the

story

would

end

thrillingly

&

with

soaring

happiness.

thoughts on a little sink

(things came & went)

a delightful december

and then in a flash you go to write something in the calendar on the kitchen wall where's it's always hung,

but you haven't a new one, until

your husband hands you

the one he picked up from the grocery story

and you paste a picture of a garden

over the...Skippy Peanut Butter

and Hellman's Mayonnaise

[what i love about the words

is that you know it's so true

& why did i ever spend $20

on a shiny new calendar, ever?

at least i didn't this year. cutting

out photos of gardens

as we speak...]
