Anguish at Leaving

Dreaded flight, the moving truck
Parked in the rain,
The minutes tick
Till morning.

Quieting memories, every
One sleeps upset,
Counting each moment
Till departure.

Stopping time floods
Brain’s capsules, each
Cell bright, each day
Crisp.

Is there a forgetting,
A time when memories
Dissolve, when holding on
Let’s go, allows forward
Movement to the future?

Starting the truck at dawn
Explodes those myths,
We’re really leaving
Those friends behind.
We’re really
Leaving our home

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
