three rooms in a cul de sac

as i paint another room
in another house
on another street, hang another
sheet of wallpaper
in a dining room,
stain another deck.
climb another ladder
stand in line at the paint
store for one more
gallon of latex, i ponder
what's next.
a boat, pick up golf.
travel, eat and get fat.
a dog perhaps?
then the phone rings, 
someone wants an estimate
for three rooms
in a nearby cul de sac.
i'm saved again.
