Tensioning, 
seems a precursor
to pensioning

even when the brittle hand
plays the band too loud
and the ears break
long before retirement's date.

Play demands an oversupply
of time and an overwide width 
of boundaries.

Where are these
overages?

Drift and change
even under the barometer's pressure;

there will always be an autumn
at the end of any season's 
rainbow fist.
