"the edges are important"
she said,
"because
you never
know when
you're going to need
them
to keep
you
from
falling."

i need
a
vacation
from myself,
but
the flights
are
too
expensive.

just
a
slice
of
perspective
served up
with a
topping
of
cluck.

don't wake me
please.
i choose to stay here
and
eat
strawberries.
lots
and
lots
of
strawberries.

watering
the
garden
suddenly takes on a
whole
new
meaning
when you live
with a
dog.

don't let the calm
exterior
fool
you,
she said.
there is plenty
of
restlessness
inside
but i manage
to keep it tamed
with
lots
of
sunshine
and
fried
dough.

i never get
tired
of
being
astounded.

i have found
that
stretching boundaries
usually won't make
them
break
but sometimes
i get
into
trouble
when i
ignore
the
no
trespassing
signs.
