Things

Today I had a thought
In the morning light
Set the day in motion
like a derailed train.

Crashed into something
pretty sure I'm bleeding
at least I'm not dead
or I don't think I am.

That thought washed away
and with it my sanity
For sweet prose
and sweeter poetry

Was lost down the drain
as I stood there
watching soap dissolve
I wondered at my life

How it was so messy
No longer pretty
just a disarray
of things I can't let go.
