The air is still and feels timeless

Desmond G Sheehan

Narrative
Cross breeze is gentle and outside is quiet
What I imagine it was before cars and bridges and phones
I want to breath and remember it but
Feel angry
Stubborn and petulant
If I were not going through this life thing
Would I notice ?
Another reason to add to the list
Of reasons
Justifications
My punishment

Just like the air my thinking
Timeless and gentle
See
Now you know
