Poem: “To Do List”

Make coffee.

Sort socks.

Walk

around the universe

and back.

Meet and greet

the human condition.

Pack picnic lunch

for your ghost.

Reshape the Moonlight Sonata.

Go to therapy –

play Monopoly

with sorrow,

musical chairs

with grief.

Write a poem

that sends

all the other poems

to the nearest bar

for a drink.

As an afterthought –

eat fire.
