Rich Some days I find it hard to sort 'What ifs" and what's of no import. The household tasks from which I weave My vivid tales of make believe Keep me halfway in between A notebook and domestic scene. I stalk a morbid plot and think I hear piranhas in my sink; But no, it's not a jungle sound, It's only garbage going down. Is that the whoosh of burning brush? Or just a muffled toilet's flush? Was that the dryer buzzer? Or A distant clang of cable car? Do I hear burglars picking locks? Or just the ticking of the clocks? Vacuums? Cyclones? Beaters? Bears? Ghosts down here? Or wind upstairs? Fantasy makes light my day and whisks the doldrum blahs away. Then when I come down to earth, I feel I've had my apron's worth!
