I'm living life stuck in the past
To see the light where I lived only dark
A marathon like a walk in the park
That's my perspective on the past

A wind chime's song in a hurricane
The greatest pleasure...

Slowly stretching Monday grunts
rubs its eyes, rolls slightly left, farts.
An achy sun shuffles about the room,

Sunday did not pan out,
an iron faith faltered;
events planned
wandered off like drunken sheep.

was that an ache
or a pain
hold on a sec
