we are travelers,

the patterns you

the patterns you
observe in time
are meant
to cushion every
anomaly, the way

hugs the curves
of each fruit

the patterns
of our lives,
soak it in between
the days, the years

the backs of my knees
are swearing, loudly enough

the body is caught awake
and aware, sticky with words

taking an early
evening nap is setting
yourself for failure –

it’s a quarter-to-one, my
body bets against my brain
