lorex or lorax or me

I like how the moments
pass by: how the shadows start
and grow thru the day

I imagine you there alone
and then not, and then you call
and you are not even there

the mind of a woman, how
it etches out plans: yet forgets
hard plastic on the burner

as the oven grows to 450
degrees enough to melt a xmas
gift. it happens you said

and boy does it happen
to me and it's nice not to think
I am crazy or lazy just

me
