Occasionally, just give up

4/26/2023 Great strategy (unless it becomes a habit)

That kind of day — The muse hasn’t fled as much as snuck out the backdoor due to neglect — Hence the following poems

Subjected to distraction
4/26/2023, Con/Jur/d

I’d like to put the blame outside
to not take responsibility for all
of the mad to and fro, focus
whittled down to a too thin
stick, useless for anything
other than a hydrometer
bending, faster under
rapid drying, we are
subject to a degree
of liquidity, an ease
of thought, requiring
a removal from, step -
ing back from, constant
unrelenting distractions
although, it’s apparent
this liquidity of cognition
is just another habit, forms
of thought, unchosen, created
by fate, circumstance, random
genetic combinations, leading to

Where was I? If it’s important
enough, it’ll come back.

I’d compare these efforts to a Christmas tree — in April — on a construction site — BUT the tree is rather brilliant

Birthed
4/26/2023, Con/Jur/d

Bereft of our senses
something yet remains
this is not death they say
rather a kind of blocking
an undoing, so you will
walk the time you have
remaining, in awe
of what birthed
you birthed us

Has this ever worked
before? We ask
no, but we 
keep

hoping.

The nice thing about NaPoWritMo — is although I’m not happy with everything — there are always a few I appreciate which wouldn’t have been written otherwise

Much love,
