What will it have become,
this whatever it is I've been being?
A question, the question, I have asked too seldom−
pressing fast forward on life
as one presses snooze on sleep;
iterating over now, more, again
(as in while true do busy
when fear or unsatisfied evaluates as true);
until something breaks.
Stop, look around
take in the mountain
find an approach
and then bed down for the night
set up base camp to wait out the weather
take shelter from the coming storm
Still, looking out through the frostbitten window
over the steam from a cup of tea always
disappointing at this attitude: no doubt
better this than the other
wherever it may lead
