sticky

706/2008 (1130pm)

suddenly I don't have the use
of three of my fingers
numb and losing communication to the brain
outside
no roof over where I write
stagnant water nearby
attracting insects
it's a humid night
the kind you would describe as sticky

suddenly I don't understand why
things happen the way they do
why ask questions when no one
has the answers more questions
as the writer comes to the bottom
of the page and his cup simultaneously

what do you think about that?
backwards walk off the deck
and the grass is soaked
as the humidity makes the air
as thick as the cloud
the writer sits in...
