Always cramming to do lists into my pockets
worrying about what I am going to do next
or what I am going to forget
they end up staying in the pocket of some shorts
left or forgotten anyway or washed by accident
I always try to lay out my life
like that will help anything
yet more desperately than anything
I want to live day to day
free of to do lists
my only care the present moment
how do I go about this?
I constantly bother myself with the idea
of what I am doing with my life
all the while wasting it
contemplating what I should be doing
I want to go out into the woods
and I want to sit by a river on a blanket
with my favorite book in hand
and I want to plant a garden
and grow my own food
and whittle little pieces of wood I find
and write letters to friends who are far away
and learn about what type of trees
are growing in my own front yard
