Yom Kippur

nausea and headache hold still
the gates are closing soon
and our map is incomplete

our pens may be dry
but we still hold our pencils
to inscribe our names in your guestbook

location, options, labels
return us to clearheadedness
if we are reasonably diligent

it is the effort that is wanted
when you send your feedback
and we scribble our impermanent signature
