lunch

my friend sara leigh likes
to knit, she likes to
cross stitch and needle
point, and wile away
the hours and day making
blankets for babies, or
things to hang on the wall
that resemble sail boats,
or radishes. she's quite
talented this way. it's
not my thing, but i
admire the patience, the
rapid dexterity of fingers
and mind to create things
of relative beauty, and
that i'll probably never
have any use for, but
still, i can stand there
and stare at her creation,
and go hmmm. amazing. now
what's for lunch?
