I Have Time
Dusk in the city, I walk.
This evening:
I resolve to, remember faces I see.
I resolve to, eavesdrop on conversations.
I resolve to, record how I navigate the streets.
I still have time to:
enjoy being me,
enjoy pretty faces,
enjoy wondering who others might be.
I consider counting, all people I meet,
but the notion is silly,
takes too much time,
I would not be free.
Free time to:
remember the future I see,
Free time to:
consider the spiral galaxy in my coffee,
Free time to:
absorb the streets melody.
I have time to reflect:
what tomorrow will be,
what happened last week,
what it’s like not being free.
All my life I’ve had plenty of time,
to:
put off,
spend,
kill,
waste,
loiter,
do!
