13 may

there's the going and there's the gettingthere
running and arriving
balance these and you'll have more answers than most of alongtheway
passers-by lean toward trying
frying sunshine each new dayup
coffee to power through taste and brightness
everything is breakfast
everything is ingredients
the most important part of the day: being in the day
this is the breakfast
this is the fallingasleep
this is the way the drop lands on my arm before anyone else knows rain
knowing how the cobcorn feels in my mouth
spilling dirt all over the floor that should have been outside
waiting for nothing but the present
ache of muscles at rest
tomorrow is another yesterday/ no past but through/ no then but now
