most days i’m at least
a little
excited to write
something

but this morning
damn near
nothing

makes me want to go
the way i normally go

[i’ve been shopping for unnecessary new clothes
as if i can change my entire life
by dressing like
someone new]

even the poem
i wrote
about having trouble
writing poems
this morning
feels so cheap
and distant
and alien
to what is actually happening in my brain
at the moment
so i guess
i’ll write
this tiny diatribe
about
‘blah’ness
and ‘meh’ness
and the ‘blargh’ that i’ve been
chanting in my head
all morning
and see
where this
all takes me…
