I Know I Have (from "A Slip Of The Tongue")
written about pain and indifference
and demons and loss, but today as I reflect through this open window, the sun is out, the clouds come and go, the birds sing in the trees and the wet green grass jumps with life. it would seem that there will always be another day. the sun will come again and life will birth and grow. but me, well, I have become stagnant. I have become stale. I ache in the desire to live and live and live. and through this window I see that much life is living where I am not. for me, another day is a slow death: I must wake, dress, and move on to my place of business where my soul will suffocate and die, where lines are drawn, erased, and then redrawn. and at the end of my day I come back to this and shit and flush and wonder about butterflies and rainy days and old comic strips. much of my life will be forgotten, and maybe only a small portion of it will appear as a paragraph in the obituaries. but this life today outside this window has kept me as other things have not. death, life, both are moving forward with the eternal question mark inside of me. and today I think I will stick with the latter as I hit these typewriter keys, as the wind makes its way through this open window.
