Just back from travelling up and down England visiting family. I wrote this at the start of the week....
Packing
I hate packing.
It should be,
If not relaxing,
At least quite exciting,
The preliminary activity
To going away.
But instead
My head
Fills with panic
And dread.
Which shoes,
I muse,
And what coat?
Have I got
Enough socks?
The right tops?
Will I be too hot
Or too cold?
Should I take new things
Or old?
How many pairs
Of trousers will I wear?
And I stare,
Near despair,
At my suitcase,
Knowing that I'll choose
The wrong things
And that it won't
Really matter, anyway.
20/2/11.
