the chase

your life, at times
seems to be a chase.
a better job,
or home, or car.
sometimes love
is in the mix.
a chase to lose
weight, to read
what hasn't yet
been read, a movie
unseen. a place
to visit. always
a chase. it's hard
to just to stop
and breathe, to
say enough. i'm
good, exactly where
i stand in all things.
