within the company of others
we navigate space
between now and then
choosing where we go
and with whom we travel
at times it gets crowded
and still seems lonely
otherwise comfortable
on our own
companionship makes
the journey worthwhile

Reasons are excuses,
explanations simple
rationalizations for
what you are thinking
or feeling. History is
full of reasons and,
in hindsight, excuses.
Or promises.
I have known many.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

A clock pays little attention to you,
so why can it not be ignored?
Time: I unwillingly keep track of mine.
Hours or days, even months and years,
all commodities I spend little time
trying to understand.
It took a good half hour to see my way
through these past few minutes.
