Think
I will walk around
today
talk
to a few
helpful strangers
about money
make
a couple lists
of things to do
in preparation
for events upcoming
clean the house
of course
dirty again
check my email
maybe
see if anyone
has written to me
read about
the Dordogne region
in France
the prehistoric caves
with 15,000 year old
paintings
on the walls
fix
my daughter’s lunch
for tomorrow
a favor
because
I know
she will be tired
after being out
late
last night
then
putting in
a long day today
rather than nag her
to do it herself
after
she gets home
while
I make dinner
the two of us
talking throughout
watching tv together
when
she is done
with her homework
before
walking outside
in the dark
to see
the lunar eclipse
in the east
at last
exchanging goodnights
and I love you's
going to bed early
selves satisfied
having made our quota
for another day.
