Thoughts, Desires, dreams

Wants, likes, dislikes

Ideas, views that don’t

Match the partner

Are usually dismissed

And treated inferior…

Enjoying a trip up the

East Coast searching out

The best clam chowder

Getting lost on a back road

Finding Polly’s pancake house

Or Frost’s front porch have

Been wonderful trips…

Waiting for 18 holes of golf

To end or reading a book

On a lonely road worrying

About bears

Or trying to find a hotel

Late at night hoping

For the right price

Is no longer on my

Bucket list…if it ever was…
