This time

This time there will be no poetry

No songs, no tearful prose

No floating into thoughtscape as I

stare at the tiny lights that play

across the walls of my dark room.

 

No, this time will be dry.

Functional, minimal, standard.

Only the necessary detachment procedures

as I relish the realization

of having got over emotion.

 

This time I can save time

for the things that count

work, produce, live as before

and revel in my growing strength

as weakness dies an early, sad death in me.

      1. Of course. But just wait for emotion/weakness/whathaveyou to come sucker-punch you when you least expect it.

        PS Weakness counts too, or you wouldn’t be human in quite the same way.
