Handcrafting

all of my

word-a-day

bird-watching

calendars,

years in advance.

I'd like to

know what

the birds I observe

just observing me

think of

my plans.

Here, while

I'm planning, I'll

pencil in:

somebody's

headache will

ease off for good.

Then, a few

years and some

change from now, I'll

make a note about

caskets:

"Birch wood?"
