Pace Yourself

Pace yourself
Let not footsteps behind
or ahead
Alter your gait

From winding hills
To gridded plains
The pavement meets your soles

*This poem was submitted to a sidewalk poetry contest. It was not selected, so I decided to share it here. Pretend you’ve stepped on it.

Poetic Interlude: Drafting Dreams

Nocturnal thoughts are rarely definitive
Illuminating
until day breaks
lucidity
with
Reality

So we retreat

into familiar narratives
ways of seeing
being
thinking
to the company of those who share our values

We’re all so busy drinking our own Kool-Aid
Few attempt mixing all the fountain sodas together anymore

We fear the unexpected flavor
