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
