Seeking settlement, what does that mean? Several ways to see it, I suppose, Several loose ends, flapping in the breeze, daily, weekly, ad-hoc, random too, not sure why I see them this way, normal life really, That’s just me, just my manner I guess, sometimes unsettled, inside, out. Some good in the wild, outside the …

With myself, In the evening, daytime, middle of the night, Like right now, scribbling at 3:00am, awakened by thoughts about work, life, struggles, battles, Fleeting joy, this I know, fighting for time, not so good, slight of hand preferred, slight improvements …
