senior moments /gaps/ellipses
i carry keys to my cages around my neck
like some ancient mariner's albatross
i place objects in certain fixed spaces
so i can return like indigenous
and know the place for the very first time
I repeat rituals like pill taking
at certain defined hours (as per instructions)
i go to the same places when traveling
as a form of reassurance
that some things do not change
(like me)-even when hair disappear
body weight remains,with extra layers
due to sedentary patterns of behavior
I do not know if i will always be this way-
i find change hard,so stick within comfort zones
Tomorrow is today with extra time to repeat
that which has sufficed for so long is enough for me
Ritual habitual -circles within spirals-ad infinitum. Zen./
Need i say this again?
