Breathless

One breathless moment

Have you got a moment?

a momentous moment

even a monumental moment

a mountain of a moment

a hill of grace

a transcendental kindly kind of space

of delicious disconnection

between you and the human race

I long to be chaste

and not waste my life

on squandered moments

the multitude of moments

that I must embrace

but let’s cut to the chase

I’m out numbered by momentos

and remembrance of things past

I don’t know how long I can last

I’m bearing up

but surely since my last bearing

I seem to have gone beyond caring

I need a quiet moment

I need some air

I’m momentarily breathless
