in the morning afternoon night
lazy moments
creep into time space.
moving pictures are muted
they play on the screen
colors dance to a script
on occasion they are given a voice
only to be silenced minutes later.
this routine repeats for years
with the promise of change
when new eyes enter the world.
habits are hard broken
and a newly minted father
will make difficult choices
contradicting his rhyme and reason.
he will lead two lives
in addition to the many
that run rampant.
hopefully there will be an anchor
to push pull sway chaotic seas into harmony
and together create a new world for each other.
