 inattention and a sagging roof
seen through the window
while breaking from meditating
to write down sundry thoughts

once I tried to save the world
then I tried to save my soul
now I try to make it through the day

once I tried to save the world
then I tried to save my soul
now I try to make it through the day

once I tried…


there's a mist from the February thaw
and its warm or dismal
as I call
it warm or dismal

I blow out the candle
to reduce the violence
my carbon foot-print this morning

across the way
the garage roof sags under the weight
of the snow
the years

and I'm still here
with little accomplished
breath in
breath out
and so much ephemera
caught under my nails

I'll clean it spanking new
and bring this poor excuse of a poem
to you
cause you know

once I tried to save the world
then I tried to save my soul
now I try to make it through the day
