Decorating her daughter's bedroom
She showed me the wallpaper trim
With cutesy smiling dolphins
Suddenly my mind lapsed
To a windy dawn
In the Sea of Cortes
First sun splashing
Off a hundred leaping porpoises
Half a mile offshore
A large pod
Surrounded our kayaks
At frolic in the pelagic wilderness--
What was I doing in Grass Valley
Rolling fresh paint
Across sheetrock bedrooms?
