There’s no
forward, everything spins in curves
comes back to
the same point and place,
what to do? no
backward either, sideways,
the same coordinates, and nothing swerves
an inch - only the old sugar jar lid -
I spun it
today, the thread broke, couldn’t screw
it back on. Not
anything of value,
recycled -
mayonnaise? jam? - to begin with,
but it came
from somewhere that’s young, happy
the details of
contents I’ve forgotten
long ago, just
that the memories sweeten
the sugar. I
suppose it’ll have to be
thrown away at
last, it’s spinning useless -
just have to scoop
out the last happiness.
Back in the couch/mouse potato mode and healing as per medical orders, everything went well and I am back at the usual inaction station. This concludes my celebration of the mundane.
Personally Feb's been a challenging month all round, in fact so far year 2017 shows every sign of turning into a full blown annus horribilis type thingy. Fingers crossed March works out better.
