ANGELA BALL
I’ve ruined my marriage, but still I enjoy the hum of nature,
And the pleasure of greeting a kindly pedestrian
When I have the chance.
Make no mistake, I’m fond of my bungalow.
Returning home at night, I can’t resist waltzing a bit
With my valise. I let my right foot go first,
Since it’s my favorite.
I live a quiet life, thinking of what to say,
Heeding the call of the wild, removing my sunglasses in tunnels.
I never refreeze, though I may try it one day.
