a pleasant walk
disturbed by old
memories
that won’t let me be
though it ought to
have been long enough
by now
so once more
i suddenly find myself
three paces ahead of her
’cause my mind’s busy
raging against past injustices
instead of enjoying
the here and now.
later, i stand in the lounge
and hear a soft hum
from upstairs.
i know it’s time for something
else
to happen.
