MY SISTER

Oh hey April, thanks for house sitting.

ME

My pleasure.

MY SISTER

As always you're free to eat anything.

ME

Okay.

MY SISTER

There's a ton of pasta in the fridge.

ME

Okay. Have fun on your trip!

24 hours later all the pasta is gone and BECAUSE I ate all those carbohydrates I'm craving even more. As I scrounge for food in the cupboard I come across a can of ravioli.

ME

Oooh! Perfect, I'm going to eat this ravioli.

I then spend about ten minutes going through all the drawers and cupboards searching for a can opener, but to no avail.

ME

I REALLY want to eat this ravioli.

I take a device that in some distant age was probably used to puncture aluminum cans to get the liquid part out. I have no idea how to use it.

ME

I AM GOING TO EAT THIS RAVIOLI!

I spend about twenty minutes tearing apart the can so that the hole is big enough for the pieces of ravioli because I love it when the pieces come out perfectly. Amazingly, I do not injure myself.

ME

YAY! RAVIOLI!

I then take pictures to forever immortalize one of my happiest moments of my life.

Poetry Month 2012: "Spaces In-Between"

Sometimes we get so wrapped up with all our

to-dos and to-dont's and obligations and obsessions

that we forget about our hopes and dreams

and especially the spaces in-between.

You can't get from point A to Z

without the twenty-four other letters.

So take all the steps,

even the ones you you're not likely to remember,

because without them there would be no ripples

and those across the ocean would never know you were there.
