Coming Off A Flow State...

 that enabled me to write 1700 fresh words in 2 and a half days.  Sometimes I'm not sure why some things come so easily(Which I might share if publications didn't want everything they put out to be exlusive, these days.  Times like that remind me why I love writing, and sometimes, life(Although maybe that is a little sad that I find more purpose pecking away in here than in so much worthy stuff that might feature more human contact, as far as that all goes.)
Maybe I'm still a little stoned.  Don't feel like apologizing, for once.

Like the First Stanza of The Friends Theme Song...

 For the(somehow) uninitiated who are young or off taking the Jeopardy test:

So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

(Except for the part where I'm not secretly adorable and making folks think I'd be nice to bang while I'm hanging out on the Oprah show.) I think Jacqueline and I might have both chosen Matthew Perry as a favorite based on how he blushed about that.

 My year?  I think I've had a number of awkward and unsuitable *decades*

I guess some people are "There for me,", but if this really was a show, maybe the beginning song would be

Carole King's " So Far Away"

EDITED TO ADD:
I guess we've been a lot more *broke*, but I do know people who know a great deal more than we do. It can seem easy to feel pretty poor.

New Poem: Fixed

 

FIXED

Not quite spayed, but kind of close

Cut off from things I long for most

Love and passions far away,

Though I’m where they’re not,

I have to stay.

It’s better to be sensible and pick up coins

Then chase even paradise,or physical joy

And yet the money doesn’t gleam,

Not enough to replace my dreams.

Harder to move forward

Without someday.

A future that is new and fresh

Sparkling its way to my success.

(It might even be worth being stressed.)

For now, I sit and watch TV

Full of images  I can see rather than be

Pending a kind of immortality

Or something happening magically.

(Is there something left for me?)
