Childhood friends who never once fought
From pre school to adult we never crossed swords...

Brakes apply and slow us down,
As engines thrust into reverse...

I am the fear that you created,
Caused simply by your acts...

This mountain of a man
Does not move with pace or grace...

The alarm sounds at stupid o'clock again!
My dog begins to howl and cry...

I say goodnight every single evening,
And I always say I love you...

If I open up my palms and look,
I can imagine the growth of mountains...

The four walls that now surround me
Seem to keep on closing in...

Just breathe!
Suck it up and just breathe...

Caution concealed entrance.
Oh that sign makes me smile in these middle aged...

I've sat staring at them for ages. Turning them...
Still small, still notched and scared...

Every day a new advancement of Man
Aspirations of engineers give way to reality...
