What’s funny is I who do not
do the same thing twice no
patterns or routines I have even placed my favorite
pair of silver earrings on all possible surfaces why don’t
you put them in the same spot every day so you’ll remember
where they are many have asked and I don’t wear
them two days in a row ever even though they are my
favorite earrings old silver perfume bottles from Nepal soft
and open hold scent on small cotton balls hidden inside
still I hesitate to take a break next week when we are
in California for a word that is almost alien for vacation
we will not work or do anything out of duty or responsibility
or for any other reason besides vacation
we could just eat oysters and oysters visit The Antique
Vibrator Museum or take a walk across a bridge the question is
should I forget about my one daily task all that I do for sure
should I vacation from writing a poem?
