“Unmarked Territory”

I don’t know how many “lasts”
there are

will this be the “last”
super bowl with my kids
will it be the “last”
Valentine’s Day
will every special day
till May
be a “last”

things I don’t want to think about
but will
because it’s important
to treat every day as a “last”
and make the most of it
last

“Standing Still”

in Texas
I’d think about
San Diego time

in San Diego
I’m thinking about
Texas time

between two worlds
where time really flies
either forward or backward

in between old and new
in between before and after
in between then and now

it’s like reading a book
and saving your place
to go back to
