Kinked - Feb. 26, 2025

feel off today -

something in the bloodstream

weird piece of news

rude cloud

that bitter breakfast grapefruit?

 

my link in the chain of kindness

has a kink and I think you just

shake those things a little

to get them untangled, right?

 

another remedy for dislocation

is a hard dramatic pull

 

while the easiest way

is to relax and not worry

 

life will probably fix the situation

by lunchtime and I’ll be serving

soup to someone hungrier than me
