Lost Time, Found
They said we lost it— our free time.
Left it in a parking lot while checking
email. Buried it under "just one more
episode." But no one took it from us.
It’s in the walk you haven’t taken yet.
The old guitar in the corner. The eggs
cooling in a basket beneath a January
sun. It’s not missing. It’s waiting.
And all it needs is a name.
