Another late night. . . . .

. . . . and all is well.

with the exception of bones that ache 

and hearts that break

are easily mended
if you remember to get some rest
and eat well

tomorrow is tuesday
no
today is tuesday
and another day is coming around
have the last twelve been productive
or are the hours wasted on selfish indulgence
is it ok to do a little for me
if it keeps me able to continue to do for others?

slowing the body doesn't help
if i can't find some time to slow the mind
not rewind
but unwind

it is dog eat dog
and i'm a cat person.
