GI100 Book #2...random attempts at poetry.

A second attempt at "Give It 100!" Open in new Window., since the first one ("100" Open in new Window.) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.

30-Day Image Prompt.


I don't have time for thoughts and prayers today.
I'm not big enough to compel a world
to maybe stop doing all the things
we wind up pausing our lives for.
And I won't do remembrances or memorials either.
My mind just doesn't celebrate that way.
I'll show you gratitude, but spare me giving thanks.
I can't be bothered. Not me.
This is all too much. It's bigger than I believe.
I see, and I see, and I keep seeing, and
then I see some more...when can I stop?
When it stops? It never stops, you know.
I could spend all day bestowing grief balm
in the form of internal monologues, if I
wanted to. But- and it's a big but-
I just can't. It neither heals nor solves.
I'd only be getting in the way of
life unfolding before me in real time.
But please, put in a good word for me...
it's not that I don't care; it just
isn't on today's schedule, and I
need to make sure the people I'm accountable to
know no disruption or inconvenience.
No thanks...I'll pass. Time to go. Have a great day!
