Note To Self

There are differences
Of course, the lack of reliable charts;
Moreover, the distraction of small details:
Your breadwinning shoe, amongst the brambles under the chair
Where it shouldn’t be; the sweat
Of overtime delivery box
In the back of the truck; a thought
Crossing the road, overworked as car tires
I’m sure I passed yesterday.
