Get thee to a nunnery,
I think maybe I should-
Be a Vestal Virgin,
Devote myself wholly,
Happily to something,
Anything,
Other than me, my Id,
My impulsive
Flickering-candle-thoughts.
Be an Avalon Priestess,
Wise-woman of old,
I’d understand
Except, I’ve never been
Much of a sticker,
More an old envelope,
Licked too many times.
Like Frank Sinatra says-
“I guess I’ll have to change my plans”.
