(Ran across this while I was going over some material for the 4th book -- thought I'd post it again for no particular reason!)



Wake up –
Another day –
It’s a mess
And you’re a million miles away

Picture on the desk
Of another time
Another dimension –
Poster child for Hot Topic

Ripped away
Like a Band-Aid
Stuck on for oh so long
That the pieces of me
The pieces of you
Stuck on
So long
Like the ripping noise
The grimace
The muffled grunt
Of a sudden tug –
Pain
And free
But not free

And it goes on
Awake/asleep
No difference in the end
Except one is more angular
A harshness
Around the edges

Everything
Divided in halves
A.M. and P.M.
B.C. and A.D.
Hot and cold
Rain and shine
Black and white
Wet and dry

Before you and after you
“After you” –
Contradiction in terms

Wake up –
Another day –
No before
No after
Just the Eternally Recurring Band-Aid
Like Sisyphus and his stone
Over and over

The theory of ending –
Where does it end?
When does it end?
Does it end?

Cool write!!!!

inspired....again and again

over and over
again and again
cut and bleed
and
feel relief
pain supplants pain
another day
a slice of life
again and again

Very unique write Lex...good job

I liked this,good job

great job...resonates with the tug of war of being in limbo unable to choose between the good and bad
