I
can't say
I understand
and though
it goes against
the grain
I am immersed
in keeping busy
an act of will
surrendering to
what has
the upper hand
attentive to
what breathes
and shifts
beneath the surface
not
an ounce of fat
compromising
its powerful muscles
but afraid
so many interests
opposed to
the realization of
a new order
that
I can't help
repeatedly
looking
at my watch.
