just for fun

i am in need of
strawberries and apples,
jablum and sunshine
a guitar and a man
a front porch with friends
board games and books
yoga mat action and a bubble bath
a good haircut, maybe new hair color
a shopping spree at anthropologie
a free flight to the island
time, time, time
more time for school reading and homework
for daydreaming and cooking
for running and settling in
of a job that i love
of money in the bank
of an adoption lawyer
of concert tickets and most of all
early sleep so i can enjoy more early mornings with a pot of tea and my bible
with only the pups and cat and rising sun making any other movement through the room
there was much more, but i forgot at the moment.
listening to rachael yamagata's song, "elephants" over and over
it's so mellow i love it
and i don't have it memorized so it's not too distracting while i read articles about presidential campaigns for a paper that's due tomorrow.
better get back to that.
