This is what adultom looks like.

When you think you and your best friend have grown too far apart in life even though you live in the same metroplex, but then they tell you that they're going to take the day off of work and still drop the kid off at daycare with these possibilities in mind:

So I'm thinking we go and hike around the nature preserve/trails in Oak Cliff, then we can make some stiff caper berry martinis, then if you want to rummage around my grandpa's house (he died), I have a key...or we could go get some brunch/lunch at Bolsa or something and plan our adventure from there. I was hoping at some point to find a body of water never visited by us, and smoking a fattie on whatever setup they have. I have a firework we could set off too if we find the right place. You have any plans/ideas? 
I'm ready to rock & roll btw :)

It's not entirely unlike:

wise up

When I sprinkle the salt in
three times clockwise
three times counter-clockwise
and touch each of you
at your porcelain angles
placing a wish
in the steam of each,
then I  remember
every tear cried
right here
to my soft shrieks
and all those renounces.

the greys

I've been thinking lately
about how old you get before you don't want anymore stuff
because it just becomes junk that's left behind
and what would I take with me if I had to leave right now?
if I were brave, I wouldn't take anything
and what do my mom and sister think about me unmarried
when they got married so young
to such upstanding men, too
and a single woman is less to be trusted
especially in the south
and how only one of my siblings was born with the intrinsic path to art
yet he always sabotages himself into not using it
even if only for himself
and when I get scared I can't eat
I've been too scared
so scared my hands don't even sweat
and how moms always get the short end of the stick
and how I'm the only one who climbs the roof
and takes the dogs on a walk.
