DRIVEL

DRIVEL

2018

I feel divinely inspired one moment

Then it’s back to drivel 

Rather quickly.

I should practice writing automatically so my thoughts don’t get ahead of me and slip away.

Like a damn song slips away.

It’s tough being in love.

That is 

Unrequited.

Really distracting

Hoping is an almost futile task

That you have to do

It’s homework

Chores

And essential

Like breathing

And sometimes brushing and flossing

Instinctual 

Trying not to drown.

Realizing your karma

Only because it slaps you in the face

Really hard

You pour blood

I am trying to calculate my blood loss. 

But it probably overflows

Tonight is the first freeze of the season. 

I am going to stay here

And get used to it. 

Really enjoy solitude.
