It rained outside today
I took the Dash bus to Fig and Adams and walked the rest of the way home
In the Rain
I called a bunch of people in Columbus
Progressively fewer people from Columbus are calling me
TV is a fortunate noise distraction masking loneliness
Masking an anxious sense that I am doing nothing
A great mind wasted
A youth spent toiling after nothing - a small paycheck.
"Security"
The rain reminds me of home. It always rains in Columbus
There are numerous Ohioans dreaming of coming to California to accomplish
To create
To become
I am out here - I've been here for 5 years.
What have I created? What have I accomplished? What have I become?

God, please remind me that you are satisfied with me
Allow me to accept myself
And lead me to a peaceful and satisfied place
Where it only rains when I want it to
And TV programs are satisfying and fulfilling
And I'm surrounded at all times by friends and family
And life goes on and on and on, and every day has something new to look forward to
Pat, I'd like to solve the puzzle
and here i was plotting for the last few weeks to write a poem about how you hadn't written a poem yet. i was waiting for the right moment. so there's one thing you've accomplished now: preempting my next poem. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked Penis
ReplyDeleteI connected with Penis
Penis was good
Penis made me emotional
Looking at my computer and then looking at Penis
It made me want to suggest some songs.

ReplyDeletegood word here.
I think it's funny how many people from our home states think of California and say they want to move here.
I like the line: what have i created? what have i accomplished? what have i become?
and then you ask for reassurance from God...
i totally relate. especially during this job search- I have to keep on tearing myself away from looking at what i'm producing to give me my identity and looking instead to who I am in Christ.
question: does insurance feel like toiling?
