A Day Temporarily Arrested

Too close,
A call unheard,
Arrested attention,
Quick thought,
Action needed?

Mind thinks,
A road not traversed.
Will a glance
A peep
Suffice to refuse?

The road
Seems green.
Why not?
Why the hiding?
Seize the moment.

How cruel,
The moment slips.
Mind jumps back,
Restores stasis.
...The day moves on.
