at close range
on the final blinking blink of
the DONT WALK signal
made it by a mile
check it out buy the book
cannot win them all
playing by the rules
playing by the book
skirting grey area
day after day
until one day
it’s all red dress
like Wednesday
except
the other way
around
that point somewhere
past the midpoint
where the weight of what was
pulls harder than what will be
twelve-packs turn to half empty
bananas turn brown and squishy
calendars turn top heavy
when it’s time to turn the page
