Take 5 / Red 1

      or: Impatient User Problems


enough is never enough
so I keep returning or
so I pretend:

an empty chair, a blank space
on the table; your words make my hands
funny; I pretend this is mine, so

this heat doesn't count, I pretend
I will fumble, I pretend
instead . . . morning, instead
the road ahead
swallows me up

spits me out

I keep returning, I listen intently
so I can sing these words later a different wrong this time
in my head

some dark synthesis
swallows me up:
impatient    click    impatient
click    impatient    click

sink, swim
repeat
