A Million Miles Out To Nowhere (from "A Slip Of The Tongue")
today I feel like there are so many things that I want to get done
but I have no energy to see these things through.
I am standing at a million miles to nowhere.
there are dreams and
hopes
that swirl in my brain
and are then gone to
the next moment,
and I pace about this house,
rubbing my chin and
feeling the late day beard
growing in.
I stare out the windows in this house and I think about
this album that I am recording or
the bills that I have been putting off paying or
my job or
the next poem,
a short story idea,
or what I am going to eat for
dinner.
this life, it needs to slow down.
everything feels rushed,
and I just want to sit down and sip warm vodka
and fuck my wife
and listen to music
in my studio.
this is a long walk
a million mile walk
to some sort of sanity
in me.
and the days will come
and come
and I will walk,
following these damned moments
and searching for a better
way.

  • This journey called life we are all on can be such a trial and yet sometimes a wonderful pleasure can it not? I loved the way your poem told the truth, just as you felt it to be true. Plain talking. My life is whizzing by at the moment and time seems to be melting like ice cream off my chin, haha.
    Thankyou for your poetry.
    If you have a moment come and read some of mine...go easy on me, I am just a beginner.
