Walking Stick

Neatly coating the floor in thin white trails, woven into floorboards like cotton twine, sunbeams snake their way across hardwood. Books scream to be read & my yellowed pages ache to detail my experience as a widowed reader of time. Magazines pile, while my simple hands grow a day older. Heat on my neck. The driver of time exhales grandiose, tells me to travel while I'm young, visit regions on this globe that grow green with age, listen to honest trumpets before I gray, wade in pools of clear urgency. He said: "Find a walking stick out beyond the ether laugh with veracity, poking fun at Saturn & the Stars."
