A New Way

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Sep 29, 2026 

A new
way.
Checking
out.
Script 
set aside.
Program
thinning.
Questions.
Now, 
many
questions.
Why?
Why do
what 
we do?
Following
the past.
As if
they knew.
One shot
here.
Only
spin around!
Doing what
we’re 
expected 
to do.
Expectations 
of others.
Conform.
Just do.
As it’s 
always
been done.
New road
ahead.
Leaving
the past
just there.
Charting
a different 
course,
way.
Expectations,
who’s?
Personal
expectations.
Focused.
Path forward.
Exclusive.
Self designed.
