the passing of days

Seems like forever

            since she’s been

            the Good-luck Girl;

but the spacing between Fascinations

has inched from months into years

measured by too many Degrees
and boredom with the offerings

Incomprehensible

            are the passing of days

and the growing older

            while staying younger…ish

she lives in a limbo of learning

            and perpetual hope

            difficult to suit

“You can never win or lose

if you don’t run the race…”
