I’ll either climb and
burn
and look good
or maybe just
sit here
White page, black line
Blink
Mocking me
Blink
Reminders of a lacking skill
Words on a page
But:
Blink
I miss them
and that hurts
And Andrew is loud but
doesn’t know it
needs to be quiet
Sometimes I think too much
Can’t sleep
Can
It doesn’t really make a difference.
Things he
thinks but
Can’t say:
Sunsets used to
be beautiful
The most
beautiful
Blink
but then I met you
Sometimes it’s like that
Thoughts
comin-g-oing
Impossible to sort
or not wanting to be.
I try to take a picture
with a white sheet
and pen
But they weren’t there
So it’s not the same
and I’m not there
anymore
But mostly it’s
a Wall
Porous concrete
Cement hurts
when I run my hand over
And isn’t inclined to
Let me by
What am I supposed to do with that?
Hemingway says to put down
what you see
and feel
Well,
I see the Wall.
And all I really want
is a
Cigarette
or a
Chisel
But not both.
And that’s also what I feel
Blink
A white page:
Someone’s too loud or
Blink
I miss my hero or
She’s so beautiful that it hurts or
Blink
Sisyphus pushes white concrete which
is despairingly ironic
He climbs
Muscles burn to
reach the top
Every day. I
find this raises certain
questions
conjectures
whatever
About how
Blink
