Monday Poem

Attend

.
ahead, behind
?

“behind” may be a metaphor
for:
….. “lingering to catch
what’s-up before you’re
so far ahead you’ve forgotten
what was on your mind
when blood was running fast
so that what’s-up is just a blur
hardly worth remembering,
a rush that didn’t last”

attend—
go slow so
life is not mere
flash
.
