Too Much Room, another sad poem by Michael Channing

Too Much Room

by Michael Channing

staple 'em down i say
the stars and the moon
shorelines and city limits
and my limited human heart
they move too fast and often
without warning
i've lost track again of who you are
in relation to what i was
and where i thought i would end
ended early
with too much room
still left on the calendar

Laughed at by Time
