some people
have grand plans
saving up
to make them real

i have
a burnt out light
in the bathroom
brushing my teeth
in the dark
thinking
three more weeks
and i will buy
a new bulb

stories
race through my mind
the next poem
needs to be written
one hundred
and some odd days
until bliss

some people
have grand plans
i might not
have much
but i am doing everything
i can with it

until then
i know what i look like
well enough
to make do
