On Second Thought

I'll have dessert.
I'll take the trip to someplace
new, a place I've never been,
I'll sleep in, I'll have
another cup of coffee
and linger in the morning
sun before work, I'll go
another ten miles on the bike
and let darkness chase me home.
On second thought I won't read
the book, or buy the music
that I thought I had to have.
I'll let the phone ring,
I'll let mail sit for just another
day. I'll write another poem
that has no meaning, but feels
good at the tip of my fingers.
On second thought
I'll let things remain as they are
and call you in the morning
or the next, but not today.
