AS WE GALLOP
Grasping the momentum of the day,
we strive for balance, a complex
equilibrium in a challenging world –
solutions enumerated, considered briefly,
with a course of action decided on before
a clear perspective is even formulated.
All this, as we are ratcheting up the
workload, reducing resources, expecting
more for less by even fewer, the pace
of our footsteps ever faster until a full
run becomes the only option, as we
gallop to keep from stumbling on the
treadmill of our desires.
Whoa! Possibly, we should refrain from
whipping ourselves, and those who must
comply, for not managing the undoable;
and instead, consider shutting down
all devices, external and in our heads,
for a few moments of breath-catching
reflection, remembering when work
was productive and fun, and we looked
forward to a day of doing it.
