1–2 minutes

Again, And Again

I stepped out

Took an evening walk

Wandering with no plan

On the same path

I walked yesterday

And the day before that

And the one before

I stepped out

In the wee hours of the morning

And went to the mountains

And did it again

And again

The following weekend

I picked a pen

First thing in the morning

In the middle of the day

Before I slept

And wrote aimlessly

Again

And again

I lit a candle

Stared at the flame

Smelled its scent

Blew it out

And then did it again

And again

I took a breathe

Filled my lungs

Felt my belly rise

Then let it out

And did it again

A hundred times

Tomorrow

I will wake up

Do all these

Again

And again

And some more

I do it

Again

And again

For my sanity
