oh these stars align on just the right
days for lunch and days for dinner
dates where we connect and roll through
old memories we managed to drum up about
the times we shared before the bottom fell
out of tune, out of time, out of place, out of
towns through which we’ll roll in three months
time to move beyond these clouds of gray to
perpetual hope in dreams of complex problem
solving issues we didn’t know we needed
to have friends and leadership passed off to
those much more gifted than us take the reigns and
ride full speed ahead as though i wasn’t there
in the first place
