On the Agenda
When all is gray
Not boring but not
Inspiring
Where do we go
A psalmist looks to the hills
The hills are not the source of strength
Though they look strong
Gratitude has no tone and is
Every shade
The day could be on fire, after all
The psalmist knows
But relief might come
Over the horizon
Or through cables, now
And satellites bouncing rays
Invisibly
To send the word, machine commands
Binary data for agenda-forming
Open or in hiding makes the difference
That’s a problem with gray
It’s hard to see,
Texture’s a challenge
Direction is unclear
But it could be a vacuum
Not only vacant but absconding
With material and hope
Help out with everything that’s left
Someone else’s day
Might be on fire
