A stack of hey
a pail of water
hunger and thirst
the curse of nothing
being worse
inaction
lack thereof
unassurance
frozen
lost.

Two things never equal
everything costs
your mind weighs and balances
constantly fraught
the stars too far
the desk too close
the subsequent actions
in need of equations unknown.

What else gets diametrically opposed?
Love and independence
vital signs interwoven
in the middle of
tomorrow coming.
