twelve hours

inching back into a career
not the one I want
to stand tall as a thinker
not an accept-er of how things
ought to be
barely trusted mistakes made
can’t afford the days off
can’t even think of a vacation
the kids will be disappointed
would they rather the alternative
the starving artist hasn’t eaten
in twelve hours
it’s the most beautiful day of the week
some would rather spend it inside
consider myself lucky
to have seen sunrise and sunset today
how many people can say that today
who really cares these days
everyone is in their own world…
