At the end of the day 5/17/20

The pittance of gratitude

is such a damn shame

but may be the prelude

to a thing with no name.

Outside the prison

of this time and space

I see all things happening

at their own pace

Then stepping back into

the landscape I tread

I find myself embracing

the all that I dread

And seeing the paradigm

to which I fell prey

I now eagerly await

the very next day.
