Eternity
There is laundry to fold
inside, towering
in the corner chair.
But there are fireflies
in the dandelions
and I’ve been told
they might not be
around forever.
I spent an eternity waiting
In line at checkout at the grocery store
The other day.
I think I have actually said that.
And the universe rolled its eyes
