Here it is, and I’m
indifferent, I suppose
A little sad maybe
but relieved
I saw it coming
a month ago
maybe more
Already thinking ahead
And now I sit
struggling with words
Thoughts flitting
about my head
Should I be brief
or does this call for more?
It’s the end of the day
and I’m tired
As I look back
I smile
My work was good
At least I think so
My mind wanders again
I’ve gotten good at that
And I remember fondly
The beginning…
