Milk the Tack

There's so much to think about
you could start thinking and not
get it done even by tomorrow.
And then there is the matter of food
and how you'll have enough food to
last you all week or even into
the holiday season if you were
barricaded indoors. Think of the soft syllables
of lost summers, whispers on a beach
under bright sunlight making the sand
in the distance all wavy and gradient.
What you can do is a matter of myth,
what gets done is called real.
All day long the scent of the ocean
which is not more than a mile from here
and then there is the matter of hours
and how each passing one is distant
from the other, could be that, constantly.
