I didn’t see sunlight today.
patience is a virtue
I struggle with
I am standing here at the edge,
arms out like wings
my chest a baby bird

This carpet is grass green
And I roll across it
Chasing a square of sunlight
Like a fat squat lizard
As you sit and you frown
At a battered old metronome
As though setting it off
Might unrhythm the world
