Bottom of the Ninth

So focused

So interested

 

Around the Clock

Always On Top

 

Outlasts us all

Never seems to fall

 

Focusing here 

Appearing there

 

How can that be?

When does he/she sleep?


It’s time for the Reveal!

Walk around the steal!

 

It’s the last inning. . .

Everyone waits for the pitch!

 

At the wall,

No time to fall!

 

It’s in the air

Come on, show you care!

 

Hands together,

Make some noise

    

AI hits hard and fast .               

We move slow. . .                                  

and sometimes last.

Life Values

TIME. . .                                                                                           Measured individually.                                                                                 Seldom repeats or returns.                                                                           Spend Wisely.

LOST. . .

Forgotten and overlooked.

Passed by not seeing.

Purposely set aside.

 

LEAVE. . . 

Slip away.

Fall apart.

Run fast

 

LIFE. . . 

Beginning

To 

End

 

HOLES.  

Growing, developing,

Influencing, affecting.


Patch or fill.

Choose or chase.


Your choice for the moment

Your "song" of the day.

Fly Byes

Like flys they invade.                                                                                                        Never asking to descend.

Entering on the page,                                                                                                   When I seem to pause or forget.

A suggestion here,                                                                                           Recommendation there.

Tomorrow they’ll come;                                                                                                       Not asking, simply DONE.

Then why even accept                                                                                                   What we do or what we say?

They don’t need our words.                                                                                               It’s just a game they play.

Eliminate the Middle Man.                                                                                     Business Mantra all along.

When they reduce and remove                                                                                     They can sing a “higher song”.

As Quark would say moving through Space:                                                                 It's the bottom line that turns the tides.

Out of Touch

Taught to focus.                                                                                                             Trained to see.

Forgetting at times,

It’s all up to me.

 

Then comes a time,

When I cannot see.

 

Those who once,

Meant so much to me.

 

They have their lives,

I’m not a part.

 

Their lives always. 

Front and Center.

 

Mine becomes

A Note or a Letter.

 

So busy are they,

Someday they’ll say:

 

I tried, I did, 

It was just so hard to “begin”.

 

To connect and to call.

To rise and to fall.

 

Their time is near,

Perhaps that’s the fear.

 

We had a lifetime,

They have just days.

 

Each one passing,

Struggling in a maze.

 

We walked and ran,

We know the way.


Their time is near,

Soon they too will fear.


No calls, no notes,

No one to hear.


Out of Touch,

LIfe's Biggest Fear.

Terminal Lucidity

It’s part of the ending.                                                                                                       As we keep bending. 

Trying to find. 

Dropping behind.

 

Dementia is unkind.

It takes the whole mind.

 

Slowly it moves.

Always seeming to choose.

 

Just when we begin to see.

A new personality wants to be free.

 

As their mind moves away.

We spend more time each day.

 

Recalling other times we spent

Knowing how much they meant.

 

(Love You, Mom

  Round The World & Back Again💕)


Those we love in life 

Stay with us in memory.

Stones, Bones & Metal Clones

Won't happen to me;

I cannot be replaced!


My job's secure,

I'm needed to create!

 

It’s called self-interpretation,

It runs from black to red.

 

Some listen to learn.

No voice to be heard.

 

It’s not out of spite, 

Survival is the goal.

 

Constant change upsets

Wherever we go.

 

No matter your age

No difference what you know

 

It’s a plan to ensure

You cannot “mature”.

 

No movement keeps you placed

Where they can't build to break.

 

Constructing metal wonders

To replace and overtake.


How long will you stay

When all jobs are taken away?


Surely there'll be something for me?

I've survived and know so I can't go.


Your limitations are easy to see.

Metal needs no breaks, has no family.


For now, your job is "safe"

Just remember all that was replaced.


Typewriters are obsolete.

Landline phones have had their day.

Jets replaced and rockets overtake.


Time waits for no one to adjust.

Bend down close, see the dust.


It's your paycheck and benefits.

No need to provide for wires and tin.

Open Wide.

Taught to focus.                                                                                           Trained to see. 

Forgetting at times.

It’s really up to me.

 

Then comes a time.

When I cannot see.

 

Those who once

Meant so much to me.

 

They have their lives.

I’m not a part.

 

Their life always 

Front and Center.

 

Mine becomes

A Note or Letter.

 

So busy are they

Someday they’ll cry and say:

 

I tried, I did, 

It was just so hard to “begin”.

 

To connect and to call?

To rise and to fall?

 

Our time is near

Perhaps that’s the fear.

 

We have a lifetime

They have just days.

 

Each one passing;

Struggling in a maze.

 

We walked and ran.

We know the path.

 

They build and seek.

Focusing on success in a week.

 

They’re told every day.

Which direction is “the way”.

 

They listen and learn,

Till their ears burn.

 

The problem as always remains

Their focus is always the same.

 

Running after the "goal"

When it should be the door.

Future Home Runs

Round the Clock.                                                                                                      Always On Top

Outlasts us all

Never seems to fall

No time to fall!

 

It’s in the air

Come on, show you care!

 

Hands together,

Make some noise

 

AI hits hard and fast

We move slow, often last.
