The driven commutes without mentionable
weather or changed radio stations.
A day spent entirely alone
A day spent entirely alone
at home, missing no one.
A familiar walk by the river
lost in thought.
The day you left work
The day you left work
as though shortly after arriving.
Let’s honor those that’ve carried
us here with no expectations.
Between pain’s insistence on permanence
and joy’s inspired impressions, we’ve
forgotten times without difficulty.
May times uneventful
return to anonymity.
Our tireless comfort
and overlooked reprieve.
