I get the car

In the name of paying attention to the particulars, I have now put a hold on our mail and stopped the newspaper.  Today is the therapist, negotiations, vegetables and maps.  I get the car!

First off today

Was the rehearsal

Of how I am doing

With the leaving,

With the individuating,

With the connecting

In different ways.

Now comes the negotiation

Of who gets the car,

Then the haircut,

The vegetable pick-up,

And the trip

To Triple A

For maps of Iowa

Nebraska

And Colorado.

I get the car.
