Living a life of productivity
Making plans, always looking forward
Spending every moment efficiently
Passion and persistence driving pursuits

Living day to day, floating aimlessly
Never straying far from the familiar
No ambition, no focus, no progress
Wasted minutes, wasted days, wasted years

The balance in between these two extremes
Staying within walls or knocking them down
Being on, on, on or let life lead you
Sometimes it is good to give up control

Every day passes regardless of you
A life spent trying, a life spent in bed
Just records of time.

-KM

The way hair drys in the wind

as if there is nothing but cold

and in two months the earth will

start to heat up

first asparagus will rise but

i won't see it

then the frogs will come out

but i won't hear them

in the river the ice will break

and flow down stream

past the long thin tall rocks

to the big drop off

but for now body condenses

and it's hard to breathe.
