you could say eye
have become discouraged
at long last had enough
have to move into change
find where eye fit
struggling to wonder
why this mind works
the way it does
not make sense
to pay the bills got to work
and the government
is a millionaire’s club
how fitting
you could say eye
am discouraged
if you even felt it necessary
to restate the obvious
battle in this mind
won’t shut down at night
it spins on overdrive
all around town
to find a quiet spot
back at home on the back porch
until midnight maybe later
catching up on night time
rest missed with thought in hand
in mind in pen and ink
all over hands reaching
into pockets not their own
you could say eye
have discouraged this self
happiness carved
into flesh left arm
turn back ten years and write
it all over again
beginning from the end
where eye left off the edge
of this page turns to reveal more
and there will be no end eye
cannot begin from
a non-existent point given
to those who need to catch up
slow down thoughts too fast
rain hard will flood the gutters
and overflow like this pen
this mind this heart…
