Another Take

Today did not argue.
It simply showed up.

The city kept working
like it always does,
without apology.

People moved with purpose.
I moved with gravity.

Nothing was hostile.
Nothing was kind.

I waited for something
to push back.
It didn’t.

So I walked.
Not toward anything.
Just away from staying.
