I woke this morning
determined to experience
the day in a different
way. Today I will wander.
No plan. No compass.
Completely at the call
of imagination.
I will be a determined
deviant ignoring imposed
expectations, presumptions,
and road maps drawn by
those with calculated
destinations.
I will taste, smell, and hear
without analysis or dissection.
I will appreciate at least
fourteen things, learn something
new, and pay attention to all
that appears improbable.
By sunset I will have been
grateful for something insignificant,
helpful to a stranger, and aware
of an impossible possibility.
I will be free of all lists,
schedules, and
calendars.
Perhaps I should print all
this as a guide to the
freedom offered by
simple wandering.

I'd love to see tomorrows poem with the beginning "yesterday i woke up intending to....."
... just to see whether you managed to turn wonderment into reality.
