getting back on your feet
another first night out
a series of dates
that stop & start over a lifetime
some of them shorter
and some longer
most of them likely
in-betweeners
the angle of the sun
doesn’t scare me
but unlike the drama of the moon
any & all changes are
noticeably subtle
[if I think about it for far too long
I gradually become someone else]
life is a series of choices
more often than not
leaving you without options
but it’s those times
that they do
that will ultimately define you
july two thousand twenty-one
