APPLICATION

 

I have to get

more serious

I have to begin

to apply myself

 

there’s no time

like the present

but I am letting

mine slip away

 

slip sliding

thru songs I grew up with

and beginning

to hear the nostalgia

 

had it written down

then lost the sheet

couldn’t find

the ink on page

 

that was time passing;

endlessly cascading;

the visions lovely, sure

and long since forgotten
