"cognitive stutter"

ïs an apt phrase for it.

The choices

are fewer and fewer

the view smaller

the road you are on

is a detour

that isn't finished yet.

Some parts of you are missing now

you don't know how

you got here.

Look for me

on the side of

the unfinished road.

I have a sign that tells you

where to go.

Love this, Richard:

The windows of time

when things are at

their peak is short.

The skill is to know them,

feel them and understand

that the ball is firmly in your court.
