You know
I couldn't sit down
for the longest time-until now
and realized-that meant I was staying.
In shock
in a new Purgatory
between the life not gone
and the one not yet begun.
Of course
change isn't This to That
transition is a stretched out process
that sinks, tears, and wears on the traveler.
Perhaps progress
is just change
that never arrives-per se
or takes a seat...
