They Are Frantic

They are frantic These women who have to decorate for holidays I am too busy painting to notice They are getting crabby For they have back aches and neck aches. I bother myself in no way. My husband is a gatherer, he can gather his own meals. I sit and paint, until I have my own back ache and neck ache I take a nap, feeling no guilt it is my vacation, and I plan to keep myself calm Not crabby or frantic. Suddenly I realize I am painting in a frenzy. Maybe I am as frantic as all the others. Hmmmmm
