A month … and the silence has gathered.
The cars and the buses moving through the city
are like a repeating film clip.
My busyness has eroded against the silence
and I’ve seen the waste of time.
The name and parts of the days are getting lost
and meaning fades away with them.
I chided Alan about being impaled by pointlessness -
the old man’s dilemma.
I just couldn’t imagine a place
where I couldn’t find a passion and a purpose.
Like a child in a candy store,
I’ve had my fill now and must remember
where I was bound, if I can.
