I have this way of drifting and dropping

in and out of “normal” life,

in and out of tasks, of time, of timing

of accomplishment; wanting to accomplish

more than yesterday, but a little less

than tomorrow – what “should” be done,

what “must” be done – “must” or what?

“Could”, “can”, “might” –

I’m still getting to know them all

relics of a time where I was more carefree

but cared about what mattered.
