261/365 - Duty

 

My eyes dream

as I watch

the blue tapestry

of the ocean

tumble toward the horizon

I want to sail

across this sea

but instead

I soar high above

on my way to vacation

and I've brought my laptop

with me

and worst of all

I've done it

voluntarily

out of some fucked-up

sense of duty

and I know

if I want to 

chase that dream

I need to stand up

I need to reassess

my loyalties
