Walking

I should go for a walk.

The sun is shining, the wind
is cool. Children are laughing.

I should go for a walk.

But there's dishes and
vacuuming to do.
There's a self-pitying
wallowing to do for
playing hooky on
this day designed
for casual walking.

I should go for a walk.

I'm a little tubby and
tired, maybe a little
hung over.

I should go for a walk.
