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.
