a passing day it has become<br />

The green numbers glaring off the dash<br />

always read ten minutes fast<br />

I broke a split-second too late<br />

to chase the clouds away<br />

I’ve got a sickening feeling<br />

churning up in my stomach<br />

I think it may be taking its toll,<br />

or just finding its place<br />

Echolocation ran you into a wall,<br />

you’ve got my sympathy<br />

Now go out and find that vote of confidence,<br />

the one we’re looking for<br />

Feeling on the dash for sunglasses<br />

to block the first morning sunshine<br />

Staring down at the lines on pavement,<br />

just kicking around what the night meant<br />

Half-shut eyes getting their first look,<br />

taking time to pull the sleep loose<br />

It feels just like winding down,<br />

but still feels like the sunshine<br />

Gathering of Children<br />

Head of triangled eyes,<br />

wide open like the sky<br />

Stars staring down at me –<br />

geometrical gathering<br />

Smile as if to know<br />

where the pointed arrow goes<br />
