Rejection
"REJECTION"
it happens.
it’ll continue to
until we are consumed
by the earth.
the same mistake I keep
making happens when
I turn into the Eddie
that died so many years
ago.
every now and then
he shows up.
I will admit;
sometimes I dig when
he shows up.
it lets me know I’m
not completely void of
a soul…
just running on what’s
left.
as rejection happens,
it gets easier to under-
stand.
as you understand it,
you will learn to see that
it isn’t you being re-
jected, it’s rejection
offering you a gift from
the gods.
for me, it affords the
opportunity to write and
dip my ribbon in embalming
fluid.
be available to those
that cannot see their
own descent.
every now and then,
there is one interested.
the time is 1:03 AM.
there was a phone call
and it wasn’t the one
that is interested.
