you're already there

there are variations

of the sigh,

the exhale

of air.

sometimes it's boredom,

disinterest

in what someone is

telling you,

or the book in your lap,

or maybe it's

frustration

with the stuck key,

the stubborn lock.

while other times

it's a momentary

flash of

despair.

when it feels like 

you're going nowhere,

and thinking that maybe

you might already 

be there.
