The clock’s progression
no indication: our place
setbacks suppress
potential values
limited horizon shadows
qualities of life
Time forgets. People
adapt, their short lives affect
impermanent change
Only Fossils Set in Stone
Tag: society
Fixed Cost
Dad, off to normal
—affected by war
Mom, taking a nap
—shiftwork loss
Garage sale, in back
—no energy for “No”
Garage sale—in back
No money box

Working in a World Without Growth (Planning for inevitable declines.)
Social Contract
The wait for right lasts beyond
expectation, as sights blinded
by misunderstood intentions
fail conception of stark reality
Daily weaved into an unaged
fabric under stress induced by
terrible management of fibers.
