You could do the dishes

the taxes, the laundry

You could play

catch-up on email

Sweep the floor

and scrub the toilets

You could balance

the bank statement

or go ahead

with your heavy-set

plans to scratch

off your list

 

Today the

sun is shining

bright and high

 

You could

sip cappuccino

by the window

snuggling with your cat

You could listen

to a love song

and draw a mandala

Invite your child

to play or dance

without any need for

correction

You could say yes

to your lover

and bake homemade bread

 

There is no need

for caution

to enjoy

the bounty

of the now

Life

is sweeter unplanned
