The universe just deleted an hour of my day. Why do I never get a say in matters of time and space. The world would be a better place if time stood still and the earth was a pancake with raspberry jam.

unbecoming / the thoughts are mingling / I paint a pretty picture / they dance around the Christmas tree / yesterday and tomorrow / a waltz of two / the now standing guard / interference unavoidable / as the bucket spills over

the punishment was living the rest of his life as a mortal / to drink cheap wine / eat fatty food with no greens / to seek love / only to find / empty beds

days of meh / gutter writing / a scent of sewage / ‘tween pages / Days of joy! / Pulitzer prizes! / Bling! Bling! / Going places! / then shaking / sweating / the cellar dark / the rats nibbling / on pages wet / on pages smelling / another night / has finally ended
