I have plans to be
Traveling Lightly
Even if alone in the dead zone
I have made plans
for traveling lightly
The long journey ahead
promises to be rocky
And going out that door
removes the option of returning
once more
If I have to be
that solitary life
in a dead zone
Alone I must make it through
the rugged streets
on my own
All the memories
of the places we were to have arrived
All the people
of high society we were to have become
On God's chariots
I'll walk like Royalty
Here in my cardboard box
living out my Palace fantasy
But freedom is mine
no one — needing to teach me
the value of what was a dime
I can not even trust myself
to me
be kind
Long gone now
are the memories of yesterdays
We were meant to be then
Perhaps
the clock ticked past me
whilst I lingered in the wilderness
Arriving to the clearing
sadly having found
the magical gift
that once quivered at our command
overnight became
the poetic bittersweetness
of reality
and all the memories
of the places we were to have arrived
All the people
of high society we were to have become
On God’s chariots
I’ll walk like Royalty
Here in my cardboard box
living out my Palace fantasy
P.S. Goodbye 2022
