lovely, dark and deep

I think I'll skip today. I'll stay in bed and pretend the day after Thursday is Saturday. I think we should all be allowed at least one instance of this power per year. I should be able to call my boss, my ex-wife, my children, my mother, my friends, my school, my mechanic, the grocer, and the bum in front of 7-11 to let them know I'll be skipping today. (Before you ask, yes, the bum has a cel phone too.) "Don't look for me," I'll tell them, "I won't be found." Perhaps I'll find a movie theatre playing my favorite movie I've never seen (Casablanca)... or I may read a book till night is upon me again... or I may be a single drop of rain...
ah!!!
...but i have promises to keep...
