last week I took a drive
I went down to Hawkinsville and walked along the river and then drove up the other side stopping to walk in the river every chance I got.
I looked at the rocks that may be of archeological significance,
I watched a small gator through my binoculars,
I got my flip flops stuck in the mud and washed my feet in the river,
I ate lunch at a picnic table,
I thought about stuff that happened this week,
I thought about stuff that happened a long time ago,
I listened to the radio,
I drove through puddles down dirt roads,
I saw a lot of water birds; heron, egret, sandpipers,
I saw a lot of turkey vultures,
I ate candy and drank strawberry soda,
I got bit by chiggers,
I was late for church
And I thanked God for giving me the day to relax.
