I feel there is a luxury for some to live as if

all is well

these some find days long expired yet not yet extinguished

pursuits

carry them from one pile of somethings to others

amassed paintings in retirement clay bowls thrown against the wheel

of time told these leisure hours are best spent in long held explorations as such but really

really….

are these not just attempts to extend duration

while all the while they’re expending the turn of the earth

ah I sound rather morose I apologize

I am trying to decide between a class in enameling or

doing what I can to save a small part of the world
