ready or not

the time comes
you have to go
ready or not
so you’re in the
middle of a
new love affair
or breaking up
an old, or writing
your life – so what?
the time comes
you have to go
ready or not
best then
kick the dust off
your old brown shoes
and with a light
step, head empty
as a bird cage
willingly put
one foot on the
morning road
the time comes
you have to go
ready or not
