Yes Maybe Never
I keep thinking I should write a Resolution poem what I’d like to do but never will. Enormous list of impossibilities. Tango Lessons. Portuguese. My friend Linda gave me some advice before she died. Resolutions should be mindless and simple. Polishing your nails red. I will never learn Mandarin never do yoga every day never throw out the thousands of pieces of paper I keep in a friendly hopeful mound never accept the word never. In my head I replace it with maybe.
(If send me your resolutions. I will save them for a year. Maybe sending resolutions could be its own resolution. One we can all do.)
