time passing
too swiftly
to get me
pumped
about any one event or even one day

i need now to look forward to
a weekend
a whole month
a big big change in scenery

[but the tiniest/
eensy weensiest/
minutest little things
still bring my whole mood
down
down
down

so what’s that about?]

February 20, 2025

bad mood
cranky
annoyed
annoying
short fuse
on the edge
negative
negativity
everything rubbing me the wrong way
and also feeling like i’m about to cry

why
after such a beautiful yesterday evening
of connecting and connection and theatre and community
did i pass through the night with stress dreams
and so little sleep
and immediately wake up into this
damn bad mood?

February 16, 2024

am i in a bad mood?
am i just trying to get down
and dirty
into the business
of morning poetry?
am i tired and sleepy and hungry and fatigued
with the terrorism happening in the middle east/
the horrors and atrocities
committed by our international “allies”
with our “support”/
and the fact that it feels like
no one
in power
is standing up to anyone at all?
[and the brainwashing is such that
some can look at lives lost
and feel nothing
nothing
nothing
at all]
