There are so many. Life is short and there’s so much to learn. There are swim strokes (and related skills) I’d like to pick up, including drownproofing. I never learned to drive a proper motorcycle. Archery would be nifty.

the fish drifts - barely: then, with a snap of its tail, it darts to the depths.

Masquerade [Lyric Poem]
Welcome to the masquerade!
It is your home from now on.
The you you were will soon fade
as you play out the long con.
Welcome to the masquerade!
Where all faces are untrue.
We are just the roles we've played,
not the selves we never knew.
Welcome to the masquerade!
Do you know just who I am?
I'm only what I've conveyed.
It's the "real me" that's a sham!

Ripples [Haiku]
ripples on a pond:
the day seems still & windless,
but, somewhere, air moves.

Deceptive Dragonfly [Haiku]
a still dragonfly
looks perched & ready,
but then falls dead.

Unbudged [Haiku]
moss-covered limbs break the water's surface, unmoved by the flow.

Not Waving; Not Drowning [Haiku]
among detritus,
an arm breaches the surface:
not waving / not drowning.
