What a waste.Thirty years.Thinking. Dreading. Fearing.Why?What was the point?What is the point? Once again.Starbucks.Looking out at a university.I was there, somewhere else, but there…Half my lifetime ago. Crazy.The best of times. The worst of times.Confined, self-restrained, jailed freedom.On the cusp of life, while free-falling into an abyss.An infinite abyss.Just continual falling into a darkening, lightening … Continue reading What a Life
I Can Do It
I feel like I am floating away. Higher and higher. Unable to make sense of what's below. Knowing however, that it is not safe. Maybe I'm being pushed into the ground. Not being hammered down bit by bit. Descending slowly. Steadily. Head never going fully under. Somehow my shoulders and head bobbing on the ground. … Continue reading I Can Do It
Yep, Yep, Yep. Here we are again…
Yep. It's for surezies this time. No doubting it. I'm depressed. I'm not bi-polar, but I was riding high Thursday evening. Laughing, joking around, being my often-obnoxious self.

I can likely get back up however. I am not cloaked and choked. Something funny happened this morning. … Continue reading Ah sure Jaysus. I haven’t seen you in ages!
Up and Down
Down, down, down again. A vertical merry go round. Seemingly going ever so slowly at its nadir. Crawling back to its zenith. Plunging down to the nadir again. Why is it so favored? That low point? Why can it not stay up high for a little longer. A little break from down there. Up here … Continue reading Up and Down
