Old Marlene Reflects On Her Day I barely remembered my dream when I woke up this morning, only that I was young and pretty and I still had my own teeth. As I climbed out of bed, my bones started creaking and cracking, and I felt so mad I could of stomped through the floor, knowing that the rest of the day was being forced upon me whether I wanted to be a part of it or not. I don’t know head over tails why, but living, it’s just one of those things that you have to go along and do anyway cuz it’s gotta be done. Despite what I tell my husband, I am not the smartest woman in the world but I know when that ole stress is building up in me and then it’s time to back off and take a holiday. "Richard" I said, "let’s go to the lake." Sometimes he hears me and sometimes he don’t. So I packed us some lunch and our old fishing poles, might as well do it myself if I want it done right. Things really oughta not be up to me, but who else could it possibly be up to? Out there in the booney docks, climbing the trail, breathing in and breathing out, nice and steady. Richard hooting and hollaring, lolly gagging behind, we were really living up the day. Then I hid behind a big pine tree. That silly old geezer didn’t see me a’tall and when I yelled Boo! I thought I might drop dead laughing. Bout blew him out of his shoes in shock. Later on at home, when my heart has finally quit its jerks and leaps, Richard helps me wash the dirt and twigs from my hair. We agreed we had a good time, gadding about, like a couple of young pups let loose from the yard. But honestly some part of me can’t say I enjoyed it, don’t know if I hated it either. But I do know, that the ole dog days of summer can sure make a body stir-crazy sometimes. |
