Living and Not Writing

When I retire and start living I am going to stop writing and just live Live, live, live like Auntie Mame Or, maybe I will write about living: A.M. Drink margaritas – lime only Walk on pristine beach – white sand only Take three shots of espresso - Cuban only Read love poems only by Neruda – NO WRITING! Recite Shakespeare - the comedies only Cook healthy vegan lunch and do cool yoga P.M. Drink cocktails - with Stoli only Listen to Andy Bey and Patricia Barber for hours Have sequestered time - with the LOML Eat healthy vegan dinner and train for something called a 5K Watch sunsets for longer than one minute Go to indie films, live theater, hip clubs And dance all night with buff gay men in briefs only! I wonder if that is what living will be like.
