living with shadows

Stop being so easily distracted.

You can barely manage to read

five minutes worth of text before

your eyes begin to fidget and flutter,

looking for something else to affix

themselves to. You used to be able

to read for endless hours without

looking up from the page. You were

a different you back then. This new

you is older and scarcely any wiser.

There are more gray hairs to be found

now, but those have always been

expected. Your mind wanders

to thoughts of a beautiful woman

you saw last night. Soon enough,

even she becomes a shadow wandering

through, until at last, the sun is at noon.
