Stuck (Passes Me By)

11/13/2019
idling
i try to find
motion, something
progress, anything
to break the monotony
to snip the wire
between here and there
between me and you
that which keeps us
separate
aching to take a step
toward you, there
where together blooms
the first of spring
craving sunlight
reach to the sky
the clouds dance past
they move with
such ease
why can't i?
feet firmly planted
stuck
i watch as
the world passes
me by
