Each day there is the morning walk
to gather the morning news in print
An amble back to a rocking chair
comfort for consuming coffee
and attempts to ingest current events
Soon the coffee is gone
followed by another cup
News columns are skimmed
like a dragon-fly skits across
the still of an evening pond
Skittish has become a life-style
concentration a foreign word
completion evasive
By nighttime there is
an abundance of projects,
goals, desires left to await
revisitation - revisitation never happens
as new distractions fulfill
the daily routine
of living in the moment

Each day there is the morning walk
to gather the morning news in print
An amble back to a rocking chair
comfort for consuming coffee
and attempts to ingest current events
Soon the coffee is gone
followed by another cup
News columns are skimmed
like a dragon-fly skits across
the still of an evening pond
Skittish has become a life-style
concentration a foreign word
completion evasive
By nighttime there is
an abundance of projects,
goals, desires left to await
revisitation - revisitation never happens
as new distractions fulfill
the daily routine
of living in the moment
