rightly so

twenty minutes late
doesn’t matter
as much as getting
it done as the sun
light fades the house
faces in that same
direction as it goes everyday
trash by the sidewalk
to be picked up tomorrow
notice the sunset sky
will be up before
the sun comes into view
even on the off days
twenty minutes before
sun breaks through
those winter skeleton trees
to the east awake in the cold
fighting one off at the same time
place importance on fulfilling
a twenty year old dream
and rightly so...
