Don’t you dare foist your
confusion into my life.
I’m all full up here.

Wandered with a friend
I don’t know well. Filled in life’s
blanks from street to street.

I missed a whole week–
on a boat in Alaska
is my good excuse.

Not a shocker but…
surfing is much more fun than
sitting at a desk.

Sat on the tarmac
for two hours — hit SeaTac at
three a.m. my time.

It’s a long to-do list —
clothes, garden, dishes, sweep floor,
buy drugs for my cold.

Squeaky sound below —
dog chews on a tennis ball —
doesn’t look yummy.

Off to Alaska
but not before finishing
the backyard garden.

I dig and pull and
tug at weeds, turn over earth,
then spread the compost.

Potato, onion,

nicely for dinner.
