Maybe I should make a fire. Would you like a fire? I’ll make a fire.

Maybe I should rip up the Sunday Paper into tiny pieces and try not to get hung on the ads.

Maybe I should finish digging the hole I was digging in the back yard.

Maybe I should make a cup of tea and take Vitamin C. Would you like a cup of tea?

Maybe I should just take a walk with no destination.

Maybe I should stay in one place and stay put and stop making up reasons to move.

Maybe we could both have a conversation. Would you like to have a conversation?
