Humility Borne
For National Poetry Month #29
do i now become spectator
to my own decline
to my own demise
as bit by bit
parts wear out
and like an overburdened motor
i am idling too high
waiting for the drop--
waiting for
the engine to warm enough
enough for today--
tomorrow
another chance
another part
another lesson in humility
