Arc Hive

After a damn decade or more,
I finally paid for Spotify, 
and now, without the commercials,
it feels weird, 
like I am missing their muscle memory.

I have checked off
three of my 2022 resolutions,
and back tracked on two –
buying books before reading 
the ones I have, and buying t-shirts. 

Resolving to be another
crocodile clock for the time being,
with evolution as simple
as appreciating commercial-less
mornings writing backwards.

Although this arc appears fragile,
it has power beyond compare;
I am also misunderstood
but will overcome my snares.
