Nothing new…

Same old same old.

Third wave blue.

Is bought and sold.

Tough to chew

And hard to hold.

Blessings few.

Same old same old.

It’s grey and cool in limbo.

All signs they point to wait.

They say that school is no go.

So sad it is the fate.

The murmurs they are growing.

Once pain, now discontent.

Bad seeds these ill winds sowing.

Not broke, just badly bent.

The worst night’s sleep in recent memory… headaches, (which are rare for me) body chills and shakes along with just a general sense of being off.

I have little doubt that there’s a connection to this and the covid vaccination I received yesterday.

A small sacrifice for the greater good? No use crying over spilt milk.

At work there is this reason.

To rise, get out of bed.

Is warm and is the season.

To keep the Monsters fed.

No arrests, no grounds for treason.

Tis where the path has led.

If we only try to please one.

Then it’s you that’s in my head.

Mid week in the boroughs…

The pain is all around.

The kids are back home from school.

Online teaching on rebound.

My kid she smiles and dances.

She loves it here with me.

Not everything is gloom and doom.

On hold, we wait and see.

Time is speeding up and I am slowing down and this reality is not a question of perception…

I used to be punished for not telling the truth and now live in a world where truth is avoided like the plaque.

The uncomfortable fears that I used to avoid I now stop for a look-see. At least until I am sure it will kill me… then I go.

Zen State

No Choice

Feet don’t fail.

No wasted voice.

It’s now or never.

We’re moving on.

If dare we slip.

All hope is gone.

There is sunshine in the morning.

The radio says no rain.

There’s a quiet in the universe.

That’s too peaceful to explain.

Maybe… cause of this here distance.

Of time and space and you.

And your memory it is farther now.

Than the chaos that we grew.

They say that Christ has risen.

I hope he’s doing fine.

I saw a smile in the glass today.

Not always a good sign.

I know what I want, however I am burdened by the knowledge that when I get that I will be bored.
