Skills
When I get home from Atlanta
I have to grocery shop.
Its been so long since I
cooked
I cant remember
what I eat.
When I get home from Maryland
I work out every day
do the laundry
cut my hair
juice carrots
light candles
crack a bottle of red
and do not leave the house.
When I get home from Florida
the season has changed
and leaps, gift-wrapped,
into my arms.
I swear Ill never leave
the Fall behind
again
even knowing that,
by and by,
the promise will break
like the ice in Spring.
The road is tedious and hard
under its shiny veneer.
It gives us stories
of amazing grace
and keeps the applause
in its place.
