Prayers and Plastic Wrap
Because as I see it,
or as I don't
Or maybe as I see it through a
big pile of
chocolate chip cookies
under Saran Wrap, as I was saying, as I see it
prayers are better than
chocolate chips
prayers are better than Saran wrap
prayers are better than.
The effort involved in making
my chocolate chip cookies,
do you know? They're not
easy. No. Not easy. My kids
well, my kids distract me
constantly. Here I am,
trying to bake these things,
my mini-prayers and
my phone ring, kids chatter, dogs
bark and bark and husbands
remain absent. I'm making you cookies
because it's my prayer for you.
