Hmmm…what to write about.
I could write about procrastinating. But wait. I have to go to the post office.
Okay…now I’m back. So now that I’ve looked up the date the postal service was established (maybe I could write a poem about the post office?) and watched author Lisa Yee’s video about the dangers of Peeps and microwaves, and sent the link to my son and my sister, now I’ll write.
Okay…I’ve got it. I’m going to write a mystery poem. What errand did I just run? What do the bold, underlined letters in this poem spell?
NEXT WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
by April Halprin Wayland
Waiting in this
massive
mega line
is mostly
okay, because
after all, I have
literally
a gazillion
fermenting
text messages
to destroy.
And when do
you
ever have the
opportunity
to get rid of
those
excess
texts?
I mean really…when
do you ever stand this still?
xxxxx
