WHAT I WANT TO DO

Get up early
Write letters to everyone I love
Remove large damp sheet of foam rubber from tub
Bathe
Get dressed and if necessary iron something
Make and eat breakfast
Drink coffee
Read a book that lets me come and go as I please
Make sure there's nothing I need to read in the paper
Make lunch
Hit the road or get on the subway
Have a reason to go to midtown
Go to midtown
Sit down at a desk and read and write until lunch
Meet a friend
Make plain and real conversation
Be witty for a moment
Return to the desk and write and make phone calls
If it's a school day go and get the boy
Go to the park or the playground
Stop at the store
Make dinner
Eat, talk, relax
Bathe J. and get him in pjs
Read him stories
Be quiet next to one person
Go out sometimes
See a movie maybe or rent one
Look at the cherry blossoms
Go running and introspect meaningfully
Look great in a suit
Make an invisible monument to the spirit
Let go of self-defeat
Think well of the inevitable politicking
Write out all the stories
Own a building in midtown
Develop and patent a new medium for news
Identify different kinds of tree
Learn Spanish
