The Week Before the Rest of My Life
I wrote the title you see above and immediately thought,
"Well that's a bit excessive."
Then I thought for a moment,
Before erasing it and starting over,
And looked around at the,
Counting them now, 1...2....
Thirty-one boxes labeled,
Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom, etc,
And the naked counters,
And the stark cupboards,
And all of the now identity-challenged drawers formerly known as,
The silverware-drawer,
The junk-drawer,
The knife-drawer,
The battery-drawer,
The spice-drawer,
The warranty-drawer,
And I realized that in exactly seven days from now,
I would call a different house my home,
Walk out a different door to go to the store,
Look out a different window
To see completely different scenery,
Say How are you? to different neighbors,
Wake up to a different ceiling,
Cook in a different kitchen,
Invite friends over to a different place,
"Stay home" in a different home.
Eeyup. That title feels about right.
