Chocolate stains across a clean shirt
Sticky stains smeared on pale arms
Low thoughts and dry tears fit right into this gray hazy sky.
Itching and stinging on legs and arms that no cream has the formula to relieve.
Comforter has a roughness that has no explanation.
Thoughts irregular and edgy looking for a press, deep sigh.
Why oh why have these illusions come to haunt me again.
Grumbling and aching are a constant companion.
Unorderly placements of things and verse with no comply.
Deep sigh, again? Not again! Let it go, keep moving
Forward ho.....mush you jello! Bicep reach and contract.
Limber junctions lubricate and roll....Worm not today, Blow fly!
