nearly phil
excitable girl
music brings me great joy
and greater feelings of content

my birthday approaching
25
excited to see those i know and love
and have missed

excited to now feel very happy.
blessed
be.

3 years ago now
i was stranded
broken down in nashville
nearing memphis
looking for clarity
and a check engine light to die down

here i am
all reasonable
responsible
respectable
wishing
i was lost
on an ancient plane

my stomach
aches
the coffee
laced with cream and sugar
has damaged all lining and purpose
and now i suffer the addiction like a wilting fool

tired. not overly, but some, enough to say
tired.

wish i were back in my new bed.
the queen mattress of fluff.
the sunlight slipping in
waking me gently
softly
sincerely

yet, here i am
wasting hours
