  • Discombobulation

    Discombobulation
    on a Saturday morning
    approaches plans gingerly

    no rancor
    makes list
    sets timer
    fails as the office is closed (business hours only) when trying to set up online account with financial institution
    (Internet insists Telephone)

    acceptance of foil brings peace

    Stop the timer.

    There are bottles clanking on the street as garbage men toss them into rumbling trucks.
    The coffee is bitter today
    but I will just accept it.

    I wanted to do this or that and that
    as was casually listed
    while thinking on a train

    but desire is wearing a lead apron

    ...and thyroid shield

    Intellectually ambitious

    Spiritually motivated (but candles have not been lit yet)

    King Lethargy
    Quantum Theory
    Buddhist Acceptance
    (something about mother)

    I merge with the wood on the chair as it pushes up against my body
    sinking into me,  electron by electron
    in two places at once

    Hard comfort,  this submission.
