Good day


 The Plan

Wendell Berry


My old friend, the owner

of a new boat, stops by

to ask me to fish with him,


and I say I will-both of us

knowing that we may never

get around to it, it may be 


years before we’re both

idle again on the same day.

But we make a plan, anyhow,


in honor of friendship 

and the fine spring weather

and the new boat


and our sudden thought

of the water shining

under the morning fog.
