I juggle books like the clown I am; A chapter of this, a passage of that, The words touch my eyes but refuse to go deeper, Recoiling at my brain. I juggle hobbies like the clown I am; games new to me already old hat, A stack of projects that project failure Again and again. I juggle my life like the clown that I am: Work, sleep, eat, no time to chat My relationships and communication skills Continue to wane. My life is a circus, in that which I am A clown of no merit whose mind acrobat Has missed the trapeze entirely. It's already slain.

Circus
I juggle books like the clown I am; A chapter of this, a passage of that, The words touch my eyes but refuse to go deeper, Recoiling at my brain. I juggle hobbies like the clown I am; games new to me already old hat, A stack of projects that project failure Again and again. I juggle my life like the clown that I am: Work, sleep, eat, no time to chat My relationships and communication skills Continue to wane. My life is a circus, in that which I am A clown of no merit whose mind acrobat Has missed the trapeze entirely. It's already slain.
A quick little braindump before bed. I will try to make a wind-down poem a nightly ritual, yet like the clown that I am, I can't exactly keep with a schedule or routine. I'm lucky I even remembered my medication this morning.
