the power of imagination

Actually,

let's not be in the moment,

although

we swelter in the sun, our eyes peering through slits

towards shimmering mirages, our minds take us

to crystal-clear cenotes and Mayan ruins, the 

cool water flows over our bare skin.

let's not be here in the classroom, bored out of our minds,

when we can compose a symphony, conduct a 100

person orchestra.

we'll listen when there is something worth hearing.

where the human imagination can go,

let it go.

the cleaning of dirty dishes does not require the full mind.

I'd rather dream of walking through alpine meadows, 

imagining lying in the softest warmest bed with a good novel,

the dishes can mind their own selves,

they do not need my full attention.
