New Normal Huh, Gang?

in a bit of a rut...

By mo burnsPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

normally, wake up, yoga, read

but since iʼm in a bit of a rut,

my brain donʼt work

watch hardwood classics on nba tv. robert pack a bowl.

think itʼll make me feel better but it

donʼt.

normally, go for a run around 5 to clear my mind.

but since iʼm in a bit of a rut,

life makes more sense when i canʼt think clearly

scroll through twitter again,

& again,

& again until i have a reason to get

up?

bad news bears (2005)

normally, burn lavender incense and do best to be “productive”

but since iʼm in a bit of a rut,

this budʼs for me,

& me,

& me until iʼm sleep with every light on flourishing.

iʼm flourishing.

i flourish.

iʼve flourished

nothing to gain here

hit the road,

quick
