I Often Mistake...
By Carol Jo Horn
I often mistake my calendar for a map.
I think it will show me
where I'm going.
I think it will keep me from getting lost.
Ahead
are meetings, appointments, birthdays, anniversaries.
Behind, a
trail of choked days of busy busy busy.
Maybe if I clear the road
to tomorrow,
I'll find wide open spaces;
a horizon of anything
can happen.
