making a list

you makes a list
of things to do.
fix the faucet,
change the lock
on the door.
oil the hinge,
patch the peeling
paint on the ceiling.
unweed the yard.
it's a long list
of household chores.
a list for a three
day weekend,
but then she calls,
and a different list
appears. it's
a more fun list
of things to do.
