picking tomorrow’s per diem


exposed to earthly elements
and those pains of patterns
the impact of wind, breeze
the rain, snow and sun

like the ground squirrel
i  still ate and collected
my provisions for longer winters
by that stealing, picking

smaller cakes of soap, a towel
a napkin, little bits of coffee
then a little bit of tea, with sweetener
and whitener with dedicated intent

to change the composition, to prolong
my life, when life in tunnel
filled with pitch dark light
moves only slowly at snail’s speed
