Love and Slowing Down

in a hurry
there is
so much to do
and always
we
are at the edge
of breathless
or really holding
our breath
trying

try
ing
is dieing
to
get to the next thing
get it all done
finish this so
we can get to that

and is
there any
time
to be out
of time
and just
love

when we hurry?

maybe,
if we feel
the bicycle wheels
under us
or the feet walking
or our
bodies skipping
or running
or skidaddling
along

and having attention
on the fun
of moving fast

otherwise
though
it's usually a
blur

and so
we've got the schedule/ rush/ hurry/ next thing
life
or
we've got the
chance
to back off from
time
and
to be in love
with life
