2006/dayholds

Not sure
what the day
holds,
as if one
ever is.
This morning
I have less
illusion
than usual.
Or is it delusion?
I’m thinking
of laundering
quilts, because
that’s the easier
thing to think.
Instead of “approach
this or that
with some degree
of confusion,
and see if it’s willing
to solve itself
at last.
Measure
and ponder,
where to fit
my desk,
what desk
to buy.
How, after two
years of disruption,
to return to the
life I was living
as if I were just
beginning.
