Re Difining Re Tirement

i haven't retired
yet other then
retiring in my
bed which

that being said
leads me to here
where i took a day
off coughing but

not sick just clearing
my throat as if i'm
speaking instead of
simply typing what

words you are reading
and words on my mind
so in a sense i am
speaking but in my

mind with the always
present conversationalist
accompanied by the
random soundtrack

that plays but
never knows which
song or genre will be
preformed for that

score is written every
day and not the day
before for they are
fresh free range

organic thoughts that
with no impurities pop
up whenever ever they
decide to speak for

notes are words just
look at your note
book's scribbling
having meaning

but sometimes not
meaning anything
but suggesting due
to interpretation

as so simple is
music not even
having to have
that kind of

sensabilities
can't you hear
your heart
beat along

with the roof
drum rain is
playing on
adding to

the melody of
bird songs sung
along with con
struction hums

and the occasional
voices of people
passing by the
window that

you can't
seem to
be able
to pass

outside
