The parade,
a spectacle, overindulged.
an event, larger
than life, ballooned
in my memory,
that today seems
less.
Less important, less impressive,
less necessary as an event, but
more significant as a marker
of time.
A marker of time
into the present
when the moments of our lives,
relationships and
time together balloon
in importance,
just as they always should have,
uncertain if they always will.
