Give me an hour to hear

The faint footfall of my waking self,

And I will pretend once more,

To fill the void of 24 hours

           with schedules to manage tremors

When the day is over,

I look for news of a cure.

Alas, the best that can be said,

Is that research has come up with a better bicycle shed.
