Moments

Hot weather persists

    Socks lose their mates

          Leaf blowers annoy

Tastes fade

   Friends lose interest

           Ideas wander

We notice a

  slide

    a dwindle

         or a drain

Without looking

    backward

       or forward

One moment

    lingers

      for attention

   

Then buoyancy

    lifts

      when we marvel

             at sunset

Discomforts

      slip away

           into the sea
