A Look Into Now Series #9



 
No longer are my cold feet
worrisome with my mental
recliner keeping them off
the cold wooden floor;
no longer do I write my favorite
blues words down on paper
in rhymed poetic form;
no longer do I hold onto tiny
shreds of evidence that form
my reality like I did before;
no longer do I cry out for the
weak and innocent who are
forced like rats to live inside
a controlled maze of doubts;
no longer do I weep for lost souls
or friends who have died or
family members who quietly
shed no tears at all for anything;
no longer do I sit with felines on
my lap calming my exposed nerves
while moving fingers through fur;
no longer is a depression-induced
state-of-mind generated when life
becomes too easy in lieu of apathy.
