the list

there is not
enough time
in the day to
do all of these
things that you
say are so
important to
the continuance
of life as you
know it. it's a
long list
of people to
stay in touch
with, of friends
to commune with,
of lovers to
mend fences with
in the hope of
more affection.
not to mention
work, and family,
the dog, the
bills and general
upkeep of nearly
everything that
moves and breathes
within your little
circle of life.
there is not
enough time, and
yet, it doesn't
really matter
most of the time.
