no culprit was obvious
but at 4am
TMI
out both ends
and a wiped out day
my stomach can be an Achilles’ Heel
sitting to let the storm pass
sitting to pass the storm
internal unrest
the stretch in the chest
the fire in the throat
the taste
sleep took a while to bed back down
tired is a useless word
is has a bottom to it
it suggests rest might work
not that something broke
or that time off is a joke
work pours in to fill the gaps
all the stupid little traps
that take a momentary lapse
in action and use it for some economic purpose
i don’t dislike work
i’m not lazy
but neither am i crazy
let me sit on this rock i’ve been rolling
some days you’re running; i want to be strolling
that’s not the whole thing
but part of it
we didn’t set the rules at the start of it
and we want to change some things
moving towards birth
one layer of reality at a time
a test
a belly
boobs
baby shower
clothes
breastfeeding classes
birthing classes
increasing admiration for my wife
the tedious sport
of tech support
makes you feel like
mission abort
your mic, your headset
the drivers, the settings set
turn it off and turn it on again
the sad days of the tech support men
practitioners of tech support zen
looking through the chat window
it isn’t a sin though
it maybe should be
and in the future could be
to be rude to the chatbot
or the tech support man
he’s been trying since the chat began
to share your screen
