~Lag~

like Tom Hanks said,
a hero is
someone who
voluntarily walks
into the unknown

I don't
know what
the tide will
bring in
the next day
it's a
toss of
the coin
a chance
I'll take

I open
the window
to feel
a zephyr
a soft,
gentle breeze
as I sleep

looks like
I'll have
to recallobrate
I don't
have
enough voltage
to face
the days
too much
lag

maybe if
I keep walking
I'll find
a valley
where no one
has a
broken heart

but I
have a
feeling that
will be
a loveless place
