grey day

what can i say 
about today 
it is grey 

grey and damp 
with no rain

there is a drought 
with dampness 
and no sun  

the crack in the ceiling 
is widening 

i despair 

perchance 
i take myself 
too seriously 
here 

this body 
this life 
do not last 
long 

some days 
they last too 
long...

my stalker 
is not stopping... 

but i must 
i must find something 
to be glad 
about 

today especially 
something to beat back 
the grey 
and the grey mood 
i'm in 

oh yes
i got some news- 
the root canal 
does not have to be 
dug 
the Erie Canal 
in my mouth 
has got a reprieve 
silly me

if we think 
if we just stop and think 
amidst it all 
all the fog 
and drama 
and feelings

there is always something 
there must be something 

to be glad 
about
