There is no difference
Between aspiration and impatience,
Between a bright and a daunting
Future.
Months are not months.
They are a coarse, constructed
Point of reference.
Purgatory.
If I make it
Will I like what’s on the
Other side?
Maybe it will feel
The same.
Who cares about three months
Or six years
Or a lifetime?
Another person will be born
From lofty goals and pent-up energy.
They will do things
That I can’t understand.
