last night there was a cockroach
poking its feelers out from it’s rooftop hideaway
and at night it caught me by the creeps
but today in the
afternoon brightness
complete with my coffee and sun hat
i’m not quite as creeped
and maybe that’s the lesson for today:
the despair from yesterday
can turn to creativity today
which maybe someday could develop into
flow[tomorrow]
the ups and DOWNS of
DISease
DISsatisfaction
DISparities
DIStancing
one moment i am creating more than i’ve created in my past three lifetimes
the next moment i cannot bear to do anything but
DIStract
how can one live (fully)
in this time
without careening
OFF
this roller coaster?
to live
to be live
to be alive
to be a live-
ing
breathe-
ing
hum-
an
