Today

 


I've been actively avoiding you and

I'm sorry about that.

Maybe my hand can't keep up with my brain

or the other way around.

I've been feeling tired

and seeking adventure at the same time.

My pocket is shrinking.

I'm sinking

in my seat.

-Feet, planted

leering defeat.

Mental upkeep, 

overdue.

Who am I kidding?

Thought streams are seething

and soon to take flight,

fleeting by.

My shadow whispers to keep me on a swivel 

and the bags under my eyes accompany 

the darkness rolling in.
