INTERMISSION
INTERMISSION
*
I had a lot of tasks
lined up for the day,
a full schedule in fact
with a plan of attack
and lists.. everything like that.
But then the rain came down,
pouring great buckets and urns
upon the sodden earth,
dissolving my resolve
like a sugar cube dropped
in the salty, salty Sea.
*
Ah, stuff it! I said, as I stood on the doorstep
rain splashing off the toes of my boots,
the World can get on without me
for awhile, I’m sure.
I’m calling Intermission
from my busy, busy Life.
Normal Services will be resumed shortly.
In the meantime,
I’m going to stay home
and unplug the phone.
Listen to the rain.
Drink a coffee.
Write this poem.
