Things That Keep Me Up At Night
Ya know that feeling
when you’re out and about
and you see a group of friends
and one silently,
secretly
signals your approach
finger to nose
a glance in your direction
in warning to the others
and it hurts
stings
like a paper-cut glazed with sriracha?
Well, that feeling
lingers
akin to a bitter memory
lends doubt
to the veracity of friendship
fuels desire to stay home
stay alone.
It’s 12:44 am, as I type
on a Saturday night.
Thought about going out.
Thought better of it,
remembering the sting of a fresh wound.
I’m tired,
from giving so much of myself all day/EVERYDAY/all week
Best to stay home and recoup
to save my energy for better things.
Like the 20th Anniversary Celebration of MplsArt.Com.
Maybe I’ll see you there.
Not that I’ll see your approach.
I’ll be spinning records.
