Not in the mood today.....post...post trauma Sees me flattened out. Coping with the Blunt instrument at high intensity saw me Wide eyed, angry finger pointing like a hot Poker. In response, it was, to behaviour of The unacceptable kind. Post trauma saw me Calm, almost serene. Was it numbing necessity? Seeing me through hot hurt. I found the 'Sorry for myself' mood and chose its company Sat by my side digging me in the ribs when it felt My presence slip away to pull the plug from the Bath water, reducing the **** building up around All sides. Playing poker with my thoughts was Not a winner this day. Only proving that the fool Was me. I collect myself from this sallow solitude Feel the sides of the comfort cushion. It has no use for Me today. I remain in tall hallways with tall walls Tasting the sour gob stopper that prevents a smile on .....my face
