I'd like to spend more time


frosting cupcakes, visiting with my plants, talking to my elders
                    playing with kids, trying on fancy perfumes.

making rhythm, writing lyrics in spiral bound notebooks.
 wearing sandals

rushing air through my lungs, running hard.

                wearing light cotton. dancing down sidewalks. writing love notes.
teasing squirrels

welcome spring

what would you do...?

if preserved under the passenger seat in your zipcar (rent by the hour cars for us city folk) you found a forgotten, unopened block of organic cheddar?
