On Feeling Like Shredded Cheese

Oh, where do I begin?

How do I start again?

Rewrite it all in my head

Open another Tab

Back to the drawing board

Or back to Frankenstein’s lab?

Pick up a rusty pen

Or clack away on the keyboard?

Drown in emotion’s oceans’ deep

Or count the grains on the shore?

Read between the lines

Uncertainty follows loyally

Consume everything I assume

Don the blame quite royally

Nix it or fix it?

So many decisions

Budget’s too tight

To slice with imprecision

Grant me a wish

My prayers fall away

Repetition, doing dishes

Finish, and then fly away

Lumber back from the bathroom

Forty minutes later

Silence worse than insults

Wears me down like a cheese grater

Oh, where do I begin?

How do I start again?

I’m certainly about to break

If I can’t begin to bend.
