I need eggs -
I’m told my student’s poems
will be published.
Should my Mother visit?
Did that book get mailed?
My life
a patchwork quilt
How to form all the pieces
into a whole
that works.

Wouldn’t it be nice
to live a life
that has no eggs to buy,
resting on a pre-fab blanket
of one color
That I ordered
from Sears.
