when I say heavy
I really mean it
today has been
so heavy
mother nature herself
may step in on this one
and force me to quit.
girl jokes
(but not really)
of contemplating
jumping off
a building
monday gut
crunched up
driving with
headlights on
through rain
to post office
nerves jumpy
small butterflies
break up the furniture
for the fireplace
to keep warm
I won’t huddle under
the smokey shelter
with them and
get my clothes
all stank
I’ll get
oxygen from
water like
a fish
fear is a
terrible motivator
gone is the work ethic
staff
thoroughly insulted
force pieces together
until they fit
force and break
they say:
no happiness in this world
think some more
I’m happy to write
even about pain
do you trust me?
creating sentences from
other people’s words
now they’re mine
I’m waiting for
soul to kick in
maybe it is
the soul is playful
I lie in bed
laughing myself silly
I beg for the
death of
top 40 radio stations
morning shows, etc.
put them in a
rocket to the sun
good bye, gone . . .
wait
what else can we
put in there?
