today’s discourse

lessons unlearned
taking old
and making it new again


rekindling a fire
sipping on warm cider
watching the trees become bare
as winter approaches
leaves drop
1
by
1
yet the limbs don’t shiver
from the cold

 

the squirrels don’t play
these days
they spend endless hours
burying a winter’s worth of food

 

do they really look for it under
2 feet of snow in mid february

 

please please do not answer that

 

i can’t escape my mind
it wanders in endless
senseless thought
that feels like a time bomb
counting down
…………..3
………………………..2
…………………………………….1

 

implosion
all the facts
&
fancies
are bouncing
in my brain

 

if i tilt my head
will it drain

 

in a spastic state
wanting to dance
but the limbs won’t move
wanting to sing
vocals are out of tune

 

who cares
do you dare
to accept the challenge

 

and play the game
let insanity rule
for a hour or so
do you dare

 

i win
you quit
stop pouting
i’ll tickle you
till you pee

 

i still won
