In the vortex,
messages are
escapes

ways away
from supposed to
do.

Even the most inspirational
transmission
is
one
less
moment.

You have to live!

Often I will descend
into the vortex when
I am emotionally

vulnerable.

When everything I
should be doing, I'm not doing.
Because I'm afraid to get started.
I always think entering the vortex


just 5 minutes


will clear my head.
I am always wrong.

The vortex ***** in
intentions and spits out
regret.
Leaving the vortex
is waking from a restless
sleep, farther from your dreams.

Outside, I wake.
I walk.
I dream,
until I feel weak,
until the vortex *****
me back in.
I never learn.
