time warp

I don’t even remember November
what the hell is happening
why does time need to speed
there’s a warp all of the sudden
in minutes
in decency
in frequency
of mindless things
so now we surrender December
the white flag already raised
to the onslaught we’ve wrought
by rushing to the next thing
and neglecting, not protecting
each precious moment
to create a world mindful and kind full
we can pause what’s happening
and step off this dreadful treadmill
opening up to peace and
to breathing
instead of seething
before these moments pass
