Lately I’ve been too---
Too busy
Too relaxed
Too happy
Too sad
Too tired to acknowledge my ‘toos’
Too invested in my own to be concerned about theirs
I have tunnel vision.
Too focused on a single point
While too many others are blurred,
Hazed.
I remember the clouded
The uncentered conversations that made up my core
the “Good morning”s and “How was your day?”s
that had no schedule
that had no timer.
There are no windows here
Just a start and finish
You can’t see out of tunnels and I want to see,
too.
