The longer days seem to go by

so quick

The shorter days seem to

drag on

I’m not keeping track of the date

I just keep going to the same

places

I just keep running in to

the same

people

But this time it works

The patterns make sense

the routine comes with built-in

chaos

The sameness changes me

the stimulus is constant

and sustainable

I don’t mean to speak in absolutes

but I don’t have enough time

to become the person I want to be

none of us do
