The Play

A Poem

Jenny Justice
Nov 1 · 3 min read

It has been one thing, and then another for as long as anyone can remember
I’m sure of this, we don’t get breaks, we don’t have culturally mandated spiritual stops in the day, stops in the stress, stops in the search for enough —

We just go, push ourselves, push others, rush, and go
we scold and chide and berate ourselves, and others, all day
in traffic,at work, in our minds.
