James Moore Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

My Life As A Respite

I’m in retirement now
And so I try to do as little as possible
As such, my waking life 
Has become a respite
Not so much from my past career
But from my nightly dream world
Where my life is a constant turmoil
Of new places, new people, new selves even
A constant whirlwind 
I fortunately don’t remember most of
But what I do remember 
Takes a full day of doing nothing
To recover from.
