\nI\u2019m remembering,
\nThe unwritten life is fast food eaten standing up.
\nA mindless conveyor motion of bits to mouth.
\nYet the primary ingredient of memory, I\u2019m certain, is reflection.
\nAnd the unwritten is the unreflected.
\nBuddhist hungry ghosts lounge with bulging empty bellies on ever-encroaching peripheries.
\nI\u2019m certain a life can be so consumed.
\nUndigested.
\nAnd in the tangle of the intestines of domesticity,
\nWho can not fault?
\nThere just isn\u2019t room.
\nFor balance and chaos to live symbiotically.
\nThe table is set for failure.
\nYet those elusive quiet moments.
\nCaught in sighs.
\nThose fifteen morning minutes,
\nspent sewing words together.
\nThose midnight forages for a bedside pen,
\nChicken-scratching a dusty dream,
\nThose tiny pauses of consideration,
\nLingering on the end of the fork.
\nIf there\u2019s an opportunity to close my eyes.
\nAnd look.
\nI remind myself.
\nTo take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
