After school steps
to something comfortable. 
Nineteen minutes to catch light before sleep, 
weeds and worry laced in words that pull. 
Inaudiably behind you. 
Overran with closed eyes,
three times moved dinner.
Something else to worry over, 
or with an effort to inspire luck.
In beauty, in mayhem, how to be better.
