Those first moments, I am filled
with heady possibility.
Lists of tasks & adventures--
cleaning bouts
beach trips
long walks
reorganizing cabinets, closets, & drawers
dance classes
laundry!
But as time drips by, realization dawns
that these dreams are just that.
I am left with this same old body,
which has never quite worked,
& ambitions larger
than a cup of coffee allow.
