A Matter of Time
It’s only a matter of time before I spill tea on my new white shirt.
Before my one-year-old grandson is old enough to sleep over.
Before I teach my step-granddaughter jump rope songs from the 60’s.
Before I forget and leave the house without makeup on my one white eyebrow
Before I write a poem about the mountains.
Before I have carpal tunnel.
Before I visit New Orleans (after hearing about how much my son Josh loves it there)
Before I eat Swiss chard from the garden.
Before I get confused while trying to call my mother because our numbers are so much alike and I get that poor woman from Hull who I call by mistake and who knows me by my first name now.
How about you?

It's only a matter of time before I finally compile the final edits and actually mail a few manuscripts off.

It is only a matter of time before I get back to blogging again after my heart surgery, like maybe today.
