Fill in the blanks

 





I put pen on paper

with blind hope that

muscle memory will lead me further. 


While flexible poses fashioned my flighty youth,

I can feel the rigid rigor mortis

setting upon the dusk of my adulthood. 


Ah! I can indeed survive by merely scrolling

and autotyping 

and generally not using my brain. 


Play nostalgic games

cocooned in comfort 

in beer bosom.

Do the same work and 

not get off the treadmill 

even when I know 

I am never going anywhere

on this broken machine. 


I know I can but should I?


If the dart is hitting the middle of the forehead

maybe it is time to skateboard off to 

an unknown vortex!
