Deadlines

Three thoughts on deadlines:

THE RUSH
I rush to meet you
flushed by the haste,
yet secretly thrilled
by the challenge


TO MARKET I GO
My eggs are expiring
and I don't give a damn
the only man I've ever
wanted I yet met
and I can't imagine the
need for another child
if and when that time comes


I'LL PASS
I think of you sometimes,
knowing that our time
has long past, but still
wondering what might have
happened if we hadn't set a
deadline for our all we
wanted for ourselves
