I will read more than the headlines when I retire


When I retire, 
I will read more than the headlines,
skipping across them like a rock on water
a single droplet reaching my mind that is
cluttered with projects, a granddaughter,
wondering what for dinner, the world has
to wait until I retire
and can read about it
and find out all that I 
have missed.
