hello, i am losing my mind. why? i've never had it so good except i guess i'm older and a general malaise is creeping in, like a rat that's run the maze and scored a fat chunk of cheese only to realize the walls aren't dropping away. the only way out is the big hand reaching down to lift you onto the vivisection table. i blame the weather. that and wrist breaking toil of hammering and clawing out hundreds of rusty but tenacious ring shank nails embedded in water damaged 5/4 plywood, on my knees with a downcast gaze, all life's potential reduced to a square foot of floor. not that i'm missing much out there, nothing but clouds and intermittent rain for days, as if that same big hand tore pages off the calendar fastforwarding to winter. i'm not complaining, i've never had it better in so many ways but i'm a spoiled baby, a coward cowed by a limited pattern, caught on a treadmill of repeating days, painted into a corner by a color i selected and it's too late to change. but then it shifts, a glimmer of light, dead calm evening, walk to beach, high tide, slip into 62F sea, a neighbor commends my initiative and for just a second i pretend to be ok. |
