The Bar
moving goal posts
The bar
it seemed so far
she moved the posts higher
so much to inspire
Maybe a little more
this time she would be sure
If I do one more thing
the peace it will bring
So, she kept trying
her brain lying
saying she would be enough
if the roads were rough
Maybe if I reach it now
I will finally learn how
Yet the posts
seemed further away
as she traveled
further
from herself
every day.


And still she calls it progress, even as it recedes.
Thanks, Jane!
