there are things
that I want to do
but the sludge of the day
attaches to me
and slows me down
weighs me down
makes me so tired
to just move
and interactions
become heavy
and forced
and the day
drags on empty
and endless
and in the end
I am waiting
to fall asleep
so I won't have to feel
this way
the heavy emptiness
but with a few rituals
I can turn it around
take control
no longer in the passenger seat
I take the wheel
and steer
and put on a pot of coffee
shower
shave
brush my teeth
and sit to write
and it is this that frees me
and I can finally feel at home
I have so much to rewrite
so much to knock out
I have scripts to write
and all manner of frivolous
thoughts to have
it is the luxury of frivolous thoughts
I used to feel ashamed
of wasting my time
with this
vanity
but now
I spend so much time dealing with other's
perplexing needs
that I do not even need to worry about it
giving myself a break
from the necessary and urgent
