I don’t know how
to forgive myself
for so many things
I have not discovered
and further mistakes
I will surely make.
I don’t understand
certain emotions
and behaviours, and
I likely never will,
but still I can try.

hard to believe
All of those reminders
you seem to ignore. To-do lists
and sticky notes, a calendar full
of times and dates and places
you need to be.
Easy to see. Hard to believe.
A schedule filled with time
that is never yours.
You do what you do, as
often as you can, in days
made up of meetings, some only
about the meetings
you just had.
Productivity has a purpose
lost in endless days.
Performance has a habit of
getting lost along the way.
It is not about the time, but
only the time you get.
It’s never what you remember,
but what you seem to forget.03/05/2020 j.g.l.

not everyone cares
We are our own grief, we
fear our own fears, and we
are the reason to rise above
all that haunts us, tempts us,
or hurts us.
Nothing is inevitable.
Anyone has a reason, excuse,
or meaningful interpretation
of their own perceptions or
probabilities.
Not everyone cares.
What does it matter? You are
accountable only to yourself.02/25/2019 j.g.l.

we all have to answer
Is it a question of the ages,
or something asked of each
generation?02/24/2022 j.g.l.

get inside
It is all on the surface, and below.
Life, love, fear, anxiety, emotion
blended within the pigment or
the performance.
Look closely. Get inside. Find the
feelings. It is all right there.02/21/2021 j.g.l.
