Making No Excuses

In the works…a preview without ML. Got enough headaches…


Offering No Excuses:
My Mind And I

My mind wanted to make itself up today
but then saw reality lurking
before deciding it wasn’t sure
and went back it to hiding
despite encouragement,
always the positive one
trying to point out this and that to everyone,
offering a podium and mic
without consult
as I checked the math again with my mind
and found a lack of confidence
had wiped off half the chalkboard equation.
that saboteur now asks for a snack, some booze
and pop a squat on the fence —
with life binoculars, we observe
what looks like ever-changing slides
under a hazy, monocle-microscope
before dizzy and falling again, but
my mind is happy to have an excuse
to run off with distraction.


I really do need an edit there…
