the new bucket list

there are things
you will never do, things
you amusingly
put on your fad like bucket
list.
Kilimanjaro is out of the question,
as is swimming
the English channel.
you will not
be famous, or rich, you will
not live in a villa
in Florence.
nor will you marry a super
model
named Heidi,
or lose that last ten pounds
of belly fat.
no, the new list involves
taking a walk
around the lake with a
stale
bag of bread to feed the ducks,
then coming
home to take a nap.
