Spring
I woke up
thinking of unpaid bills,
dwindling bank accounts,
kids and birthdays,
lost loves and obligations,
all of the things I need to do
stacking on my shoulders
like nations and oceans
on the back of Atlas,
but it’s Spring,
the weather’s nice,
the flowers are opening their eyes
and yawning, stretching out
to the warm hugs of the sun,
and I just want to go for a walk today.
