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
Breathe deeply to the bottom of my lungs
Bake bread, slice it when it’s 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
Fly to NYC to see Kelsey
Start and finish a novel
Walk my dog as long as he wants
and let him eat with the big dogs 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
Revel in new friends
Contemplate a ride on her motorcycle
Hang colorful lights on my deck
Invite Mary for dinner
Slow the
pace of my heart
Begin the
process of remembering with Jen
Have a late
night talk with River about long ago lovers
Wondering when
it will happen again
And what can
we do to make it happen
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 once more
Make my bed with the sun dried, rain softened sheets
And go to sleep
