Now available on Amazon, "Downtime," has been gaining five star reviews. A sneak peek:
Speed of Light
My life should get a speeding ticket
It travels at a speed of light
I was once young and brave and wicked
And I could dance nonstop all night
Impatient, curious, and shameless
I ran through years to the fore
And often I was free and blameless
And sometimes I'd be sad and sore
Naïve at times, I'd learn my lesson
And I would learn from my mistakes
I'd try again and never lessen
My efforts and attempts it takes
And looking back I simply ponder
How quick all that became my past
Just like a blink, a rapid wonder
My past became my past too fast
