I Can't Focus Right Now But Who Can Blame Me?

I can't focus right now but who can blame me?

There's no way to throw days out the window
But shouldn't I be listening to footsteps?

Poets translate intricate details and immortalize
Them on the page well at least I used an ampersand

That's another thing I'm not supposed to say "I"
This much but I need to be in I right now

I'm just trying to keep it together and
Shouldn't I be outside, listening to footsteps?

I have checked my phone twice now already how
Am I to ever be an academic again?

I love my absolutes and I had breakfast with myself
Today for the first time in months

'stead of the straight-from-bed-to-running
Every-day-like-a-boxing-match these

Days feel less like sport more
Ripple in a still lake at twilight

Logged so many hours of missing you I have to
Be getting close now. I learned something

Today too, my cat, she's not just scratching
The wall she's trying to climb
