disposable words
I just wrote a very quick disposable poem. I’m not posting it up anywhere since I may very well wake up tomorrow and think it trite and insipid and idiotic.
In any event, I think I am going to get to bed because I just spent about 10 minutes staring at my monitor - or beyond it, anyway - and not seeing anything… just staring in a quasi-catatonic state. My eyes started tearing and I don’t remember if I was thinking about anything or just letting my eyes burn and tear.
At this moment, I can see the attraction of mind-numbing substances to people who just want to shut off their brains at times like this. I even considered making myself a gin and tonic. While not mind-numbing, it would be a bad habit to develop… so I didn’t. I’m not going to take any sleeping pills either since I will just cry until my eyes are tired enough. It’s not ideal, but at least it’s natural.
