cellphone dead

forgot to charge

without my ten oz. sidekick

I'm ten pounds lighter

like taking off a wet suit,

slipping on shorts

no longer trapped

and out of the cage

I’ll spend this day

mingling with creation

and quiet conversations

with other faces and myself

it’s a throwback moment

having time alone

to let my legs and mind

wander like they used to

no one to follow, grab

or distract my attention

today I think, I’ll drink

only water
