If just sitting is wasting time,

I aspire

to be a real

time waster.

A better way to spend these hot

Virginia days

is hard to find

so I’ll just sit

and let the bees and butterflies

flit. I’ll just sit

until a breeze

whispers, “Rise up,”

and even then it may take me

a bit to give

up this sacred

act of sitting.
