To be marooned
If I was marooned on a stranded isle;
my fate to be alone;
I wouldn’t bring my toothbrush;
I wouldn’t bring my phone.
I wouldn’t bring a hat with me;
I wouldn’t bring my favorite snack.
I wouldn’t bring my family.
I wouldn’t bring a backpack.
I wouldn’t bring a good book or two;
I wouldn’t pass time trying to knit.
I’d bring a pen: red, black or blue;
I’d never leave home without it.
“What a silly idea”, you reply,
“to only take a pen.”
But how would I write my bottled note,
to say “hope I see you again”?
