Thinking Time

Hesitation begs me to think, but it’s a space filled with snow. 

Not the snow of winter, but the snow of an old TV screen with the rabbit ears that have gone to where ever rabbit ears go. 

In this time of World Wide Web and online this and that, if I hesitate all will be lost if I don’t hit 

‘send’ or ‘agree’ or some destructive directive to trap me in a world wide web of scammers. 

So hesitation prevents me from that 

reflexive one finger trip into a rabbit hole. 

Is that where all the rabbit ears have gone?

Keepin’ On

Learning to be me is still young

even tho' seven decades have passed

Becoming my self

outside of a dedicated life

is an opportunity to explore

a differently dedicated living.
