Cycling down the hours
with a slight grin
and the burden of your relief.
You have spent too much time
traveling and collecting miles,
how many places do you want to keep;
that have not kept up with you?

I hush distraction, for just a moment
try not to make those mistakes,
that ones where the very effort
not to make them drives their emergence.

my expectations that lead to my
dull aching foot.

What time is it now?
I finally had a look at that recommendation
years after we stopped talking,
and it suits me well.

Fill out my fresh pages,
make enough noise to wake the neighbors.
