Patchwork Prose and Verse
What’s Next?
I’ve decided
that when I retire
I should go to
work for Caterpillar
pulling up
fence posts
dragging fences
lifting trash into
dumpsters
raising fig pickers
to the tip tops
of trees
retire from
education to
push the buttons,
turn the wheels,
steer the tires,
raise the levers of
heavy machinery
last-minute feels unintentional
for a goal-setting success planner
but I'd love to be spontaneous
retire and travel in an Airstream
for a goal-setting success planner
always checking boxes: Done!
retire and travel in an Airstream?
is there an action plan for that?
always checking boxes: Done!
at the RV show, we sprawled across the bed
is there an action plan for that?
what's my 401K say?
at the RV show, we sprawled across the bed
I'd love to be spontaneous
what's my 401k say?
last-minute feels unintentional
