NEXT YEAR IN THE SUMMER

I’ll spend more time in the yard next summer
Tending the flowers
Lounging on the veranda
Unless, by chance...

May is busy or June is cold
Or thunderstorms blow in when I am available,
Or too many loved-ones decide to get married,
Or I am chosen to present in Los Angeles
Or the State of Delaware offers a contract
Or all of these things happen
Or something completely different happens,
In which case...

I’ll plan to spend more time in the yard the following year.
