what i meant to say was yesterday is not the time to wonder
blundering through today means tomorrow falls short before the sun makes its play
wait until the intermission
wait to hear what's always missing
the space between what's real and thought
bought enough to sell and now nobody's buying
frying the pan and the fire
hired hands and sorryfor expressions
teaching no lessons and counting no cards
harder than it needs to be to clear the deck and raise the flag
lag time between meant and heard
backing farther off again the strands unravel and night comes up
lifted out of circumstance and changed uncharged expired fired
tired of inconveniencing a schedule that's unreal
tired of apologizing not knowing what to say
yes it's very also much
how the curtain falls
call the number and i'm sure to answer
what we'll say's unknown

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
