A POEM

You are not a physical being in this lame day

No need to drive yourself anywhere today

You don’t pay bills and buy groceries

You don’t catch up with time

or tell lies

Fear, just a glorious phantom

Politics, another cheap fiction

Telepathy, our way of communication

Fewer spoken words, less hypocrisy

No need to RSVP

Like fiction;

grow older and younger with a flip of a page

No timeline

No deadlines

And grasp it all

what is yours and what is mine

and some borrowed thoughts, not ours

to ponder, to drink

No boredom, no shame

No phones to answer

Nothing lame about it

nothing lame

I write about what worked with me throughout my healing journey, some poetry and day-to-day humanness. Getting over the fear of sharing my writing. Be kind
