was it 30 years


sometimes three months pass
that fast
or was it thirty years
forgotten honestly
sometimes wishing I didn’t have to
close the eyes to get some rest
after a day put half a sun burn
on the forehead beginning
and ending the day
on the same high way
knowing it’s far from needing everything
to turn out my way
it’s the nature of this beast
some nights the energy
won’t shut off
and others the eyes won’t stay open
the opposite of twenty minutes
from now on everything will be sanitized
for national security reasons
no one can figure it out
some think thirty is getting old
not too old to raise some hell
to pay for making us wait
on a sign or a leak
sometimes two hours
is gone that quick too
and I don’t wear a watch
but I know what time it is…
