There isn't time for all this thinking

I'm full to the top
do you let off steam then?
shed unnecessary weight
     to remain afloat
              or in the air
          just that little bit longer?
perhaps I'm overcharged
               with a need to be earthed?
 static is safe I'm sure
   it jUst MakEs yoU twiTchy

I'm sat in my coat
          frowning at my phone
wondering about the magic of a cup of tea
    thinking about that 
'out of place' long line...
      because order and rules
I'm not sure they quiet the mind
             being 'perfectly fine'
     doesn't settle me
        what a swizz!
I'd have to unpick the whole thing
      to live without (w)holes
I just need to pick up 
    patch over
  instead of finding threads 
            aaaaand pulling on them

ahh there's the newspaper lady in my inbox
   asking when I'd like my poems published 
       I can choose apparently
   month by month 
or in the edition with the supplement again
    I wonder if that's the same for everyone?
        'entering into dialogue'
there's something in that
   makes you feel a little bit more worth while
 maybe that can diffuse me for today

         that and a cup of tea
