It’s quite a word you must admit
truly not applicable here or
in a minor dose for how many really have faced it down to its extreme
the wait I am in holding pattern for 19 days
anticipation with tinted edges of dread
I use my mantra I get to but
for always the but
I am not so sure I want to
anymore
responsibility gets too heavy as a body grows in age
or as time away makes what used to be light
too heavy to pick back up
