the mystery of things we cannot explain

the scientists tirelessly working to solve

the investors spending to save precious time

the human anxiety of running out of time

the fear of a beautifully preserved secret

sometimes I just want to tell them all

because they so eagerly wait

I want to say

"oh well"

not the "oh" that would abandon hope

nor the "well" that would state completion

it's

just

really

PROCESS

not structure

learn/grow/experience/live/love/try

give & take

speak & listen

the past is a thought

just as equally

as what is to come

when I see him next

new process, begin

process of a process

wrinkled shorts

faded shoes

warped belt

messed hair

perfected shirt

they should know this by now
