To Keep a Diary

To keep a diary is ultimately to remain curious...

When I tried to understand why I can't write each day 

I realize it is really a lack of curiosity

about me, myself and I.

A lack of curiosity about the world is a crime.

The stranger on the sidewalk

the gypsy at the store

the Mexican grocery store 

with the new shiny vegetables

the whirring of machinery

and ceiling fans

the mysteries of human interaction.
