A thousand years ago

I am only here to witness

this business

of staying alive

that isn't really much of a life

days run together

weekly into months

just waiting until the tide floats me out

the door

nothing on the agenda

other than to turn back the clock

an hour

20 years would be better

I’ve been up all night

sat out on the porch

wondering

what it all looked like a thousand years

ago
