Trapped beneath

All I can do

Is listen to the vibrations

As they vary in pitch.

My hand is knocked

Several times

Indicating that scritches

are more important than my phone.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

The bloodwork requires you to have fasted.

You need to stay hydrated throughout the day.

No caffeine before bedtime.

Addictions counselors are here to talk to you.

Grumpiness in the morning caused by a lack of an important ritual.

Where’s the creamer?

The hand is painted red.

Skeletal.

Signed by unknown.

I keep thinking I should take a picture

every time I drive by.

But it is Graffiti under a bridge.

When can I stop and interrupt traffic?

Instead I will admire the art

while it lasts.

Brittle.

Blocky.

Ridged.

Weak.

Good thing these won’t be needed to build a house.

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.

The roads around here

have two versions available.

Ice covered or working through construction.

In the city

my place goes from

too warm

to freezing in a matter of minutes.

This is why I have a linen closet

full of just blankets!

Make a list.

Leave it somewhere.

Look for it.

Make another list.

Lose that one too.

Make one more list.

Pin it up.

Take it down to do something on list.

Put it down somewhere.

Even if I tattooed it onto me

I would probably find a way to lose it.

Or simply find it outdated.

Cute and adorable.

Stubborn and annoying.

She is my child

and I love her dearly.

I just wish

I could super go back to sleep

instead of trying to persuade her to go to school.

Wrapped up in the blankets.

Cuddling from the cold weather.

Can’t wait until we can get home

And take a long shower.

Camping can be fun

But there are obvious limits

To my patience.

I know it should be done.

The sooner the better.

Yet the energy required is so high

I can not bring myself to do it.

And so trouble comes

and I once again go into panic mode

when it is no longer avoidable.
