ruminating under a too-bright fluorescent
*
stuck on page 23
& the day was so fair…
could have been out walking,
washing the car
been a month, easy
no more coffee for me
3rd’s the charm,
then i’m not so charming, princess.
damn character won’t do,
here in act 1, scene two–
got a mind of her own
guess i’ll leave her alone,
‘reconfigurate’
guess she’ll make me wait
make me sit here &
ruminate.
her place in it…
just can’t find the words.
they’re hers, you know
I just gotta let go
let them flow, as i hear 'em,
lay 'em down;
but now — nothing,
so i sit.
as the post-dusk darkness
makes this fluorescent light
don a greenish hue,
cast on the page’s half-empty space
as dawn awaits.
