HEADACHE

Stop. Then you go. You stop then you must go. We stop, we sit and we wait, accelerate, change lanes. Do you have unlimited life? Taking your time is taking my time by stranding me at red lights. Red Green Go. Red Yellow. No, we can't go at consistent pace. No, we must pulsate inconsistently and spend our lives on the road. Lift your foot from the brake when the green is go don't hesitate. Don't stay in place. Don't lock up your brakes. Don't make me late. Don't cause me a congestion headache.

Wake too late. There's no time for eggs. I could not lift my broken body from bed. I need something quick, refreshing and delish, but deathly circumstance; it lurks in my fridge. The white gallons not full enough to quench one bowl. My only choice is dine dry or go hungry until lunch time.

ASSUMPTIONS/CLOGGED

I always send texts to my friends like asking, "sup?" or, "What's happening?" Yeah. The problem is every now and then the wrong words end up in my sentences. T9 word and auto correct make me look dumb to all my friends. I sent it real quick. Thought the spelling was legit. What the hell is appitiwest? I meant appitizers. I missed a letter. Phone thought it was better, but it makes no sense. Why would anyone type that? Why would it suggest that 'gaga' is more common than 'haha'? Type raccoon? I get scabmom. I was mowing, now I'm oozing. Dinner - Dubinski? Bunnies - Atonies? COME ON! Abbreviations are now fiction. Why woun't you listen? I typed what I wanted. I missed a button. Now it says nothing that I wanted to say. ASSUMPTIONS. ----- No matter what I say, no matter what I do, my sink gets clogged with hair, soap and toothpaste goo. No draino will do.

It sits on my lap. It's my laptop. Sometimes I do work, sometimes I goof off. Watching Netflix is like a dream, but when I can't stream I want to scream. Wireless says I have full bars, but warning sign says, "Caution. You aren't online." Disconnect, reengage. Type in password and user name. I still can't stream my Youtube. My web pages won't load. What do I have to do? Reset the modem. I have to get up and cross the room. This is not what I wanted to do. Take it out. Plug it in.

THE DECISION

The decision's been made and it's too late to change. Browsing import taps; names I do not know, alcohol content and barkeep description. He pulls out a clean glass and fills it til it's full. I give him cash I take my glass and taste what it holds. Now within my mouth; a taste I cannot bear. It tastes so bad I don't even think that I could share. It tastes like syrup, medicine and skunk piss. I can't believe I paid five bucks for this. I wanted something good; something to treat my tongue, but this is so far from the beer that I dreamed of, but the decision's been made and it's too late to change. I have to drink this and then try again.

FORGOTTEN

I'm living my life day by day. Some days are dry, some are sweaty. Today I stink. I need a rinse. In the shower naked; what did I forget? Soap. Where is the soap? It's in the sink, but I'm already wet. Water pouring on the tile; soaking my mat. Back in the shower; what did I forget? Is it the soap? Nope, it's not the soap. It's the towel. No!
