lately
it feels like nothing feels right

lately
I've been squandering my talents in mind numbing delicacies

lately
I've been wondering about.....lately

east meets west
good vs evil
black and white

I cant even make the words come out right

normally
they flow so fluidly
like rivers intent
violently making their way to the sea

lately
they just gather dust

in wooden banks
tiny yellow placards to distinguish what words are where
and I just stand there
staring in all their glory
and wonder
what words have I not been using
lately
