well
you try to switch the day off and settle down to put the night on, but the bulbs gone and the universe is out.

every billion years or so
you think it might be time
to slow up,

the billboard advertising makes
it look so appetising
and you want to get your teeth in,
but you make the cheesecake wait
until you've sat and said your grace

and if it's all about telemetry
why end up in the cemetery
when all it takes is flight
which is enough to lift
and
light your life.
