the seals are waiting

Let's go to the city museum, the one where only tourists go, and learn things we never knew about our city and laugh at taxidermied seals.

Let's go to the flea market and completely lose ourselves among the shelves, see things we never dreamed existed, marvel at the folly of mankind, and find the perfect, perfect knitted sweater.

Let's go to the library and forget time, browsing and drowsy and happy.

Let's go to the animal shelter and take a couple of dogs for a walk, watch them play in the October sun.

Let's go to a café, the one where the vanilla latte is perfect and the barista's smile is joyful, and feel the hot coffee and the sugar rush warm our bodies until our souls find peace.
