Someday

We’d be far out of here

into a better life.

Just picture it.

A sturdy veranda perfect for late-night singalongs.

Waking up & smelling the roses through the pine-sol scented air.

A fenced-in backyard perfect for the tykes.

 

Between those tv dinners & some good solid sack time,

We’d gather around the tube watching the classics while

making new memories as indelible as those episodes. &

when all was said & done & the sun had tucked itself away

for the evening.

 

We’d settle into bed knowing we had the most sacrosanct existence in the world.

Somewhere that’s green.

  1. I like that last line… it calls to mind a fertile, nurturing place where you can have the life you dream of.

    Little suggestion… in the last few lines you switch to conditional/past tense. I would change this to future to match the beginning of the poem. I switch tenses frequently without realizing it when I draft 🙂
