I was overtaken by an elderly couple today, Not a sign of advancing years, (I say, the looming 29 feels advanced enough)
I walk so fast I’m relearning How to plod along so slow, To notice every grain of bark, Fluff of moss, The spectrum colours of scattered pebbles, The fallen leaf upon the soil.
The world rushes by, Life races past, Reels and Instas and fleeting Tweets, Time for everyone else to overtake me, Today I’ll take things Slow.
