IMAGINE THIS

Today I have two new poems.

So Imagine Something New

He said you can do anything.

Put your mind to 

It will happen.

And he was right.

I imagined an art center

in the background, 

of my mind's eye,

unknowingly.

It came to be 10 years ago.

I was enthused

And inspired,

Unstoppable.

I'm still pumping my life blood

into the center.

But I am tired.

It consumes me,

feeling used up.

Imagine This

Imagine something new for us.

Let the present

Become the past

Bill and I

Moving forward.

What if there were no books to keep

No art shows and

No openings,

No press releases,

No email blasts?

What if the properties were sold,

The bills paid off,

A nest egg banked?

What would we do?

Touring, dining, walking, a nap-

A sketch, a play

A book, quiet

Conversation.
