Three aspects.
One result.
Curled up in a ball weeping.
Phone in hand.
Talking to someone.
A stranger.
Yet, somehow, they understand.
Today I will still live.
Tomorrow, I hope to wake up to.
Verily, you are the smart one
Word choices.
Grammar inflections.
Can you prove how brilliant you are
if you use fancy words
but don’t know their meanings?
Awaken with the head hurts
It is on the inside.
You want to rip out your eyeballs
or gouge into the sides of the temple.
Anything to make the pain go away.
Coffee doesn’t help.
Not with this pain.
Painkillers only dull the ache.
Close the eyes and try to sleep?
Child screams and the cat claw at you.
No rest for the head that throbs constantly.
Executive Disfunction
That should be spelt dysfunction
bur either way
I can only focus on the one task today
so don’t ask me to…
oh, okay.
I can try to do it
but then I’ll have to finish off this task first
before I can get to it.
And that one requires this done first…
Wait, what did you want me to do again?
Parsnips
Like Lima Beans
they are not everyone’s favorite.
This tuber is looked down upon
as a necessity when times are tough.
Yet, nothing compares to thinly sliced
fried parsnips. Yum!
Never Fails
Important day on the morrow.
Noisy neighbours tonight.
Sometimes they are at fault.
Sometimes it is an emergency.
Either way, lack of sleep is in your future
for the important event you have the next day.
Suspicions confirmed
When they say
that we are headed to a restuarant
that is downtown
after weeks of trying to get you
out of the house
only to find
that someone else will be joining us.
Blind date
or an old friend.
There for the reminisces.
Either way
margaritas and fun were had.
Faulty Wiring
Electrical Impulses
Zap through the network
Along lines of the system
Travelling to places waiting for a response.
What happens when those direstions
Do not arrive?
Blame it on the wiring.
Now you know why
I don’t respond like you expect me to.
Which came first?
Itch to scratch
or the scratch that is itchy?
Do you scratch
because it itches?
Or is it itchy
because you were scratching?
Deep philosophical ponderings here!
Heart Burn
Burn the organ
into oblivion.
Reflux the acid
that deals the agony.
Go the extra mile
and find the tube that you cannot tie!
