because duty and to-do fall all over themselves to take center stage
and your mind
my mind
trips over itself to task-master and
rule my being well and
nothing seems to get finished and
at the end of the day the list surely has multiplied itself and
the breath, my breath, I worked so hard to ease and calm just eight hours ago has fluttered and
faltered and
the world seems to have darkened and closed in and and
and
I remind myself……
sigh…..
I remind myself…..
it is all in my head.
