times
we practice just to strengthen
reach to stretch, and
shed to grow
paint
to show what color’s in us
seek
because we do not know
days and nights
the oscillation
weeks and months
we work to find
traveling
without vacation
sharpening
without a grind
times
we labor at our calling
past the clambering
and strange
etudes of
our growing madness
simultaneous
exchange
