don't forget to write

i can only

hike about five miles

and then

i have to stop and get a sandwich

and a coffee

somewhere.

same with

biking. five miles

and my butt hurts.

i'm bored out of my mind.

i can't even be on a bus

or a boat,

or in a car

for that long,

let alone walk.

i have no desire to be

Columbus,

or Lewis and Clark.

i'd be in the crowd

at the dock,

waving from the pier

as the Mayflower

took off.

don't forget to write,

i'd yell out,

then head back home

for a pot roast.
