My list of things to do
is wide but not deep,

Drink milk and eat eggs,
stretch like a cat before rising,

Dance in an otherwise empty elevator,
balance a spoon on my nose

Wave at the shaking trees,
and lay open faced to the noonday sun.

My list of things to do
is wide but not deep.

My list of things to be, however,
is thin but cuts down to this planet's boiling heart.
