Up here it is hard to measure the distance between things.
What looks close or tightly woven
when you approach is still
far away and widely spaced.
Perhaps that is why things seem easier up here.
No one is in your face let alone your backyard
which is a thousand miles long
and even wider.
It doesn’t bother me too much anymore.
I’ve gotten used to not measuring
not sizing things up all the time
situations and people.
I’m learning to relax.
It’s farther than you think
just wait a little
what happens next might surprise you.
