I long for the day 
When I don’t have 
To pencil in appointments 
Create a list of things 
That are a must 
Have a schedule 
Watch the clock 
Wait for a break 
Wake up too early 
Worry I’m up too late 
Plan everything 
For everyone
Just you
Just me
Us
Local band in
The background 
A cocktail 
For lunch 
Well served 
Salt on the rim
A shoreline 
Cotton candy horizon 
Just ahead 

I think there is 
A name for it 
It’s definitely called 
Retirement
