Write a little later

Look, I'm not a journalist, writing about now. I write in generalities, that can be applied to many situations that occur over and over. I always hope to learn something every time.

Sometimes I write about
Too close to home,
Gotta wait a few months
Before I post that old tome,
By then, most of memory
Has gone to the ditch,
Where the sad, sorry episode
No longer doth itch.

By then, it is legend
And perhaps we have learned,
The ways and direction
Said worm, stopped and turned,
We have that kind of a feeling
"Something just like this?"
A few months ago
When we avoided the abyss.

Those are special moments
Where threat and danger no longer exist,
Problem solving is so easy
With no threat of heavy fist.
