#letempsquilfait

some saturdays
life waltzes away
from me

the loungechair
occupied with laughter until
a moment ago
is now just sitting there
in a deadly shade
deserted and lonely

recently
lifebuoys have been hanging
in the air useless

with
anxious insides riveting

this year’s spring
is hiding
in pockets full of lint
and tobacco residue

while two geese
only two
fly right above my head
honking and telling me

baby we’re not there
no, we’re not there
yet
