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 />
