“Irregular Life Begins”

From “The 26th of December,” by Galway Kinnell

Irregular life begins. Telephone calls,
Google searches, evasive letters,
complicated arrangements, faxes,
second thoughts, consultations,
e-mails, solemnly given kisses.

***

So (slowly) it does, on this most relaxed day of the year.

Enjoy. And don’t rush. Irregular life will still be there tomorrow.
