I Mistake My Calendar for a Map



I often mistake my calendar for a map.
I think it will show me where I am going;
I think it will keep me from getting lost.
I look forward to trips, appointments,
       birthdays, anniversaries.
I look back at choked trails
filled with detours.

Perhaps if I clear the road ahead
I'll find wide open spaces and a horizon
          where anything can happen.
