Take the time to remember

Slow Down

It’s what everyone says

(they only want to pass you up)

 

otherwise

consumption takes an eighth inch blade

beautiful rays of sun gleam

from the titanium edge;

upon contact

the skin folds back like a flower blooming

rich red pollen pours out

feeding the ground

(stop talking)

Focus

 

the criticism becomes endless

there is no soundtrack, no script

a train with no breaks has

more options for control

Choices

Choices

all there seems to be

a serpent of the underworld

choices

make one decision

multiple more appear

more and more paths

 

It

Never

Ends

 

Then the catch, the twenty-two

it doesn’t feel wrong

this notion of success

 

Want

Work

Have

 

Simple

Not Right

It Is Not Right

What is the purpose of working too hard

if we never live out our accomplishments?

 

Breathe

 

One project at a time

because being able to

should not justify

doing so

 

Take your time

it is the only way

to create

fully

and acknowledge

fully

the one choice to make

that breathes no other options

but gratuity for an accomplishment
