The Feel of Lesser Things

The fuzzy shadow
is never far away 
from where I started

Everything feels familiar
at forty 

The almost ripe tomatoes
are always more patient than me

From my uprooted feet, 
I have become a stranger 

The same crushed can 
greets me on my morning run
when I wish I could see
something I want to see
