I should be:
out running in the rain
dancing beneath the stars again
writing that book I hear in my mind
cooking that meal that you desire
singing that song that moves you to tears
composing the poem that will shake lose my fears
but, no, I am still here,
typing about the things I should be doing
before I do the things I will be writing about
tomorrow …

My mind is full of the shoulds,
I should
eat right and go to the gym
get more sleep
worry less and play more
write this and that and the other thing
and tackle that to do list
the in-box and the stack of papers in a tub
next to me full of student voices needing a response
instead I will
I play in the digital world
linger over breakfast with my husband
make lunch for friends I haven’t seen in awhile
take a walk in the sun with my puppy
text my kids just to check in
and take a breath
before it all begins again
tomorrow
yuck! said the girl
yum! said the boy
two tastes opposing the other
too green! said the girl
more orange! said the boy
two colors feeling conflicted
no! said the girl
more! said the boy
two plates switched with relief
Into that dark, verdant broccoli stand,
I venture.
My avatar strikes out
amongst vibrant orange,
Carrots.
Boc Choy underfoot.
Wearing an onion skin,
We are
Glazed in silky Corn Starch sauce.
Amongst vegetable companions,
Seeking, exploring, finding,
a new world.
A New World anew.
A world imagined
On a dinner plate.
And then,
in hungry, ravenous gulps,
devoured
and gone,
in all
but
my lingering imagination.
Burp.
