This morning, for
the first time
since high school
I’m sitting in the sun
without my shirt,
reading and writing
at a table on our porch.
The breeze and light
felt so good
I wanted
more contact,
and without thinking
reached back
and peeled
it off.
Only then
did it occur to me:
“The last time
you did this,
you were seventeen!”
Things
started
speeding up
then,
and it’s taken
this long
for them
to start
slowing
down.
Ahhhhh.
