emotional separation

I'm separating from you 

emotionally 

no jealousy on my part 

just self preservation 

he is a part time husband part time father full time run rounder 

the permanent part timer 

have you met him 

the permanent part timer

part time dad

part time hubby

part time friend

part time boss 

part time colleague 

part time son

part time volunteer at temple 1

part time volunteer at temple 2 

part time volunteer at temple 3

part time brother 

there aren't enough parts of him to go around 

so he becomes 

the permanent 

bit timer

a big time bit timer 

distributing bits of his time 

here and there 

like manna from heaven 

only 

the world does learn to manage

without the bits

while he figures out 

how much of him is left

After all is done
