THE NEW

by Marel

My dear
Youthful
Cheerleader,
Exuberant,
Full of words
And patterned motions,
Encouraging me
To play the game.

Where are you now?

I have not seen you
For years and years.

Is that you I glimpse,
Older,
Wiser,
Asleep beneath your warm sombrero?

How long will you spend
Dreaming up my new life?

Wake up!!
I don’t have
Much time.

Be quick.
Be sure.
Be nice.
