To do good in the world is what

I planned. To own a funky 

apartment in New York City with

busy streets. To strut those city 

sidewalks below while wearing

fashionable clothing even into old 

age. To be a savvy lawyer getting it 

right, for those who could not.

Finding justice in some dark 

corner and throwing it out

into the sunlight.

Life intended otherwise. Raising

sons, filling the house with 

boisterous voices of family

and friends. Loving a husband,

always, who is hard to love.  

Holding a pen and drawing letters in ink. 

Scolding young school boys with soft 

sounds and affection. Befriending birds 

and green things.

Writing these words.
