Wide eyed
you might say
we float
through our days,
eyes on some prize
we've dreamed up
or at least adopted.
I'm not immune,
but I'm aware:
I don't know which
is worse.
And I know exactly why:
It's from not having
anyrhing solid
to hold onto.
And it's for her.
And it looks like
there will be
no not wanting
what we want.
So I'm okay
with spending
this lifetime
building a
nest.
