Impromptu

rise and shine day forgotten is it 5pm or is it 5am or is it isn't it my doctor forgot or just a simple slip turned into a dip or dunk or sink or swim or simply not being able to breath or one of these let's see it has been ahh three months since seeing you last has anything changed or is it simply the same as always the same that nowadays is like nowadays and all the other days seem the same so noticing no real change but i see I forgot to refill that oh I forgot the change of and the refill any withdrawal feelings oh nothing more then looking for the shot gun shells

I was looking for this one, I read it last night. I still don't have the words... how about, "impacting". The last stanza's sharp turn, "slicing". Evocative, excellent piece Jeff. xomo

There's another word, in skate or snowboard lingo, this piece, "shredding it".

Reality is truth Maureen. Stupidly withdrawing buy not meant to be. Seems I got lost on the paper work. Oh shoot I forgot to turn off the shredder.
