checking the boxes

we fall
into routine.
filling the day with the usual.
the coffee
and paper,
the dog walk,
the emails.
then off we go.
simple.
clean.
but our minds are off onto
other things.
love,
for instance,
illness,
friends
and family.
finances.
we go through the motions
that makes
us what
we are,
we check the boxes,
as we look
up into the sky,
and stare
out the windows.
we're there, but not there.
it's a long
day
traveling near
and far.
