Apparently I write poems now...

 Busy morning so not as much time for a poetry session but coffee is ALWAYS inspiring to me. 


As are cozy socks...

THE PROBLEM WITH TRAVEL by ADA LIMÓN

Every time I’m in an airport, I think I should drastically change my life: Kill the kid stuff, start to act my numbers, set fire to the clutter and creep below the radar like an escaped canine sneaking along the fence line. I’d be cable-knitted to the hilt, beautiful beyond buying, believe in the maker and fix my problems with prayer and property. Then, I think of you, home with the dog, the field full of purple pop-ups—we’re small and flawed, but I want to be who I am, going where I’m going, all over again.
