Hurdles line up
before me, am I
at the starting gate?
Who will hire me?
Will I be able to learn?
Can I leave the house?
Each bar set higher,
formidable tasks
to achieve, doubting..
state of dependence,
chronic ailments,
undercut propulsion..
have cleared course
of busy, overworking
professional attire..
have the motivation
to rejoin the race,
but legs lack spring;
picture myself tripping,
tossed, sunny side up,
too outdated to win.
