2010/folly

Trucks in the alley,
daylight, birds.
I only had five hours
of sleep.
Insufficient to fuel
the folly I have
planned. What with
the gardener, the floors
to mop, the bills
to pay.
And the commodities
I need to acquire,
aluminum foil
for one.
Where in the list
will I find my life.
A life. Life.
Living.
What you put your
attention on grows,
or so they say.
What you remove your
attention from
seems to as well.
Dust beneath the couch,
clothes in the hamper,
trash in the can.
Awake too early,
trucks in the alley,
daylight, birds.
