The Longest Day


What would you do if the day was as long as you needed it to be?

I would - -

Wash all of the clothes in my house

Turn over the earth and plant seeds in my garden

Sort and match all of the socks

Answer Tina's early morning text
   and meet her for breakfast

Talk to my mother so she would hear me

Write

Go for a run without pain


Bake bread, slice it when its hot, slather it with butter and eat it

Flirt with all of the interesting women that I meet

Stay up late/get up early


Water my garden

Hang my sheets outside

Weed my garden

Kiss some of those women

Fix Bobbies computer

Blow past the writer's block

Go for a really long walk


Get a vacation from diabetes - so I could eat and enjoy the bread

Share a bottle of red wine with my friend, Julie

Then go for a really long bike ride with her

Listen to the rain 


Take a nap


Go swimming with my guys Max, Fletcher and Mason

Wash all of the windows in my house


Stop by my friend Carole's house

Pet a greyhound and soak in her calming influence

Plan a road trip to no where

Start and finish a novel

Walk my dog as long as he wants 


   and let him eat with the big boys at Carole's house

Watch the flowers grow

Bring in the dried sheets


Sit on Anita and Gene's red couch and watch TV

Have an ice cold beer, while sitting on my deck

pick the flowers


Hang colorful lights on my deck

Invite Mary for dinner
 


Prepare a fine meal

In case you are wondering

Mary is not one of the women I kissed earlier in my day


Mary and I will sit on my deck with Ebony at our feet and watch the stars come out

Breathe deeply to the bottom of my lungs

Make my bed with the sun dried, rain softened sheets

Kiss Mary and go to sleep
