Funny?


It's a funny sort of day:
head's in a weird place 
and can't contain thought.

There were no weapons
involved in the onslaught,
only devastating words.

The father's no replaced
by the resounding, "No!"
of things I can't control.

Rejected.

The goalie's glove hand is 
covering the puck of my
desires.  Goddamn it.

All is lost.
Hopeless.
Trapped...
again.

No getting out this time:
the bars are far too thick,
the locks are far too solid,
the prison far too secure.

Out! Out damn spot!
Quit your staining ways!
Inconsequential consciousness
trafficking decisions made
subconsciously.  A medium.

Nothing more.

Come and work through me.
Please.

"Have we missed our opportunity?"
"Maybe."

It seems to me that maybe, in context,
pretty much always means, "Yes."

We did try tho, didn't we?
Battling against the odds.
We fucking tried, didn't we?

More than most people can say,
I'd reckon.

But it's never easy, is it?
How do we define love?
Why do questions seem
to come easier than answers?

A glitch?
A pain with the idea of solids?
Would we rather question the
state of the universe from an
inconceivable distance--wounded?

I guess I'm at a loss.
