Damn it! I’m getting tired of patience compassion and meditation.
I want some lightning and thunder, some trauma and triumph.
I’m tired of being on hold.
Whatever it is I’m supposed to sort out isn’t coming to me
everyone’s deflecting; wishy-washy.
I exercise, I work, I wait and I read.
I love, I age, I lose myself for days at a time.
I want to put the hammer down NOW!
And say, ‘See me, confront me, deal with me’.
Wear me life, don’t just let me age away in a plastic bag.
