Long Day

Long day
Early start
Short run
Hard workout
Eyes are heavy
Energy levels low
A long night ahead
Festivities
Planned in perpetuity
Been put off
For recent weeks
But tonight
They’ll occur
Making tomorrow
An early morning
For another
Early start
Hard run
Long day
Again

Just Another Day

Just another day
Living in quarantine
Trying to hang in there
Tired
As always
A bit of a headache
Feeling chilled
Layered up
Sweats and bathrobe
Watching the weather
Accumulate outside
Counting the hours
The days
Biding my time
Until it’s time
To join the world
Outside
Again

Quarantine Commute

Sitting
Waiting
For my computer
To turn on
It is all the commute
I have these days
A short walk
To the living room
Then waiting
For five minutes
Watching the white dots
Chase each other
In a circle
While patiently waiting
For the mountains
To come into view
To let me
Login

On My Soapbox

There is one thing

I say

When I get up

On my soapbox

Figure out one thing

In this life

Just one thing

Is all you need

Figure out

Who

The

FUCK

You are!

Yes

You must be

True to yourself

BUT

To be able to do so

You must know

Who you are

Spend

The

Time

Figure out who you are

What you need

What you want

Keep it in mind

Only then

You can be honest

And true

To yourself

Confined In My Quarters

Confined in my quarters
For uncountable days now
Can only get out
To run a few miles
And see a few faces
Along the way
No real interaction
Just a smile
And a wave
As I jog on past
For the rest of the hours
I’ve just been
Me in my head
With a few moments
Of reaching out
To familiar voices
Hammered out in text
Across computer screens
To keep me sane

– James Dubeau
