I never learned to sew. I never want to either. I know how to do the simple things, like fixing holes in clothes and sewing the outer fabric to make a pillow. But that is it and always will be all. Sewing is a sit still for long periods activity. I am too wiggly.

Never Learned to Sew

 

 

never learned to sew

not even mend I don’t know

to sew is to sit and do nothing

so I say no to you

when asked to sew

with idle chit chat

want to do something

anything exciting

with movement of muscle and phlegm

up state to the river I go

a kayak in one hand

a bourbon filled cup in the other hand

and following behind is a little pup

proud I can move and bend

no longer have to sit to mend

because if I have to mend

there’s a garbage nearby
