Plans have hit the dam

Intention appears out of reach

Commitment lifeboats ten minutes

 

Minnows in the bay

challenge these neurotic eyes

A hot dog sinks to the shallow floor

 

Every second counted

The minnows showed no interest

 

How important,

is the moment, always over

 

Latitude will engulf me

Fueling on short-term memory

the day does not escape me

 

Pattern reveals peripheral

amidst my shells of yesterdays

Too many to question why

 

Appetite in a periscope

Far away, I rest my eyes
