Still Reaches Me

Their is a blemished discipline and "love" that still reaches me even past knee heightA baton of jogs & memories that get passed on every 7 to 10

reminding me, to cure the pikin.A child that I did not help bearis keeping me from sleepingis keeping me eatingfood that keeps me eating

Hence the constant daydreams of the day that this vessel becomes a different thingand it's last plank have been replaced for the last time

Hopefully, then, will this boy stop reaching me
