Energy Low This Week

Worst scenario climbs over my skull
Rips off my cap, climbs inside my gray matter
Kicking her feet,  swishing my mushy brains around
Making us believe our fear is insurmountable
We know it’s happening, yet feel powerless to do a thing
But listen to the loud screams as the dendrite highway
is being kicked around, against the side of our sad skull.
Wait! Optimism says. We can fix this, but energy argues.
It has been a deliriously disappointing week
filled with paperwork which we despise.
