Happenstance Poem by Renee Marie

I am dressed
in circumstance
draped in the textures
of time worn thin
so I begin
around the eyes
of my remembering.

I am wrapped
with attention
to every nuance
I have ever witnessed,
I have ever caused,
I have craved to caress
and those I have cursed.

I am dressed,
like you,
by time's happenstance
mixed with the deliberative and acting
as if I am somehow
in charge of anything
anywhere with anyone or anything.
