on the edge of recreation
no one expects
to get out of practice
in such a hurry
the nature of the unknown
such a capricious thing
appearing out of nowhere
unannounced
& uncaring
above all unemotional
while displacements
may be planned
many are not
making you bend at the knee
forced to test your patience
& resolve to make
something out of nothing
march two thousand twenty-five
