"How American to want it all and still say more."

I Want To Stop Wasting Time Thinking About Wasted Time
by Kelly Grace Thomas

Always in such a rush to hurry up and live.
Scribble joy off my To-Do list. How American
to want it all and still say more. Don’t I have
every ounce I thirsted for: quiet water, endless
ink, a little love on both sides of the bed.
I want to be less scared and more
salt water. To taste the wind
and never beg it to stay.
