"overdid" poems
I get my kicks
in the early A.M.
Brains on overdrive
Can't sleep
Overdid it again
So I drift off
Into another twilight
Numbed with
Self-created blissful ignorance
And when the sun
Hits the horizon
I hit it back
With a smile on my face
And I laugh
As I tell the world
Good morning

dear happiness,
I think you
have long overdid
your vacation
please come back
so I can
smile again
sincerely sad

i used to play guitar,
as i also used to fiddle with
my fingers, against the thumb...
titilating experience...
playing guitar?
let's just say...
how would a guitarist read
a morse version of
braille,
would it be easier
to read the morse
version of braille...
or just braille?
numbed tips of fingers
of a left hand...
∴
morse braille

point being... you really must have
tender finger tips to read braille...
which also implies...
if were not born blind...
when you were not blind
and had to roughen your hands up,
with some mediocre "waste of time"
akin to playing a guitar?
**** you're ******
no, literally...
because if braille is the answer...
and you have thick finger-tips?!
that's it...
unless of course,
braille is replaced with morse...
test: i write with my right hand...
but... if i were to read?
i.e. use my left hand
for both playing the guitar
and reading?
braille, or morse?
morse!
at least it is adherent to some
sort of translateable
arithmetic / quasi-algebra...
you must have very tender
finger tips to read braille...
i tried it a few times,
given that its provided on
most of the packaging
of pharmaceuticals in england...
i.e. diabetic type 1,
born with it,
diabetic type 2,
overdid the chocolate...
sorry, my finger tips are too rough,
shouldn't have learned to
play the guitar,
i couldn't read you braille
with these fingers...
but if you translated braille
into morse?
chances are...
i probably could.
plus? i wouldn't require tender
fingertips, akin to a french origin
braille reader...
give me morse, blind?
i could read it...
but, the current braille?
requiring tender french
finger-tips? no hyphen,
solely dotty?
well... good luck...
finding the next blind lemon jefferson...
who, apart from playing the guitar,
could also read braille...
good luck!

when I was younger I had so much to say
I think I overdid it and spilled so much out
I have nothing left in my cup to even sprinkle

Waking up, I think we are,
Looking back up, at our star.
I wanted this, I always did
I think we just... overdid.
But now let's go and run again,
It'll be so great, just like back when..

This life of Dreams
I have been in bed today, yesterday after taking up waking
I was so enthusiastic that I overdid it took pictures planned
The fell I was going to walk tomorrow had heard I could see
Wild boars there. I got overtired and sat on a stone under
A tree since it began raining. I looked like a scarecrow
A farmer picked me up and planted me in his field, and I hung
There to someone heard my cry for help.
The farmer apologised the Portuguese are polite people
When not driving cars on narrow road then they become
Murderous bullies and shout expletives at people who try
To cross the road with the slowness of an aged person, and
To think the Portuguese young care about their old parents.

So far and yet so close we seem
to be from the things that make us happy.
At times, our game-winning shot misses.
At times, our lovers leave us to just wishes.
Hurt, pain, and sorrow lays in our end
to a life without love or friend.
These feelings strangle and smother
our peace like the wrath of none other.
Repetition. From repeated reaches to resurgence,
to taking tyrannical triumph, to taking rejoice,
I repeatedly have nothing. Words of
“try again” and “get over it” reverberate in
my mind, rocking my resolve to sleep.
Rupturing results rips, tears through tiers of
my resilience, turning me to tears. They creep
into my dreams, upon my thrills, onto my choices,
inside my hopes, like ants in tents. With cruel intent,
every failure rends me so intense.
But how to respond?
If I show a lack of care by a loss,
“Maybe it wasn’t too serious”.
But if I reply with hurt and sadness,
“maybe you’re just overreacting”.
But only for so long can I just
“make the best out of a bad situation”.
How many times do I need to fail,
in order to succeed?
If I didn’t care so much, then
I wouldn’t hurt so much.
But what is a life lived so unlively?
Why am I wrong to make the most
of what I’m given? To wish, to hope
is seen as good ambition when it’s
a success, but when I fail then I overdid it?
