Like Pulling Teeth
Sometimes The Tank Is On Empty
Energy level low
Perhaps biorhythms to blame
Makes as much sense as anything else for my condition
Mid-winter blues
Something to that as well
Bitter cold
Then warm for two days
Snow then rain then ice
Cycle repeats
Putin doing his macho jingoist thing
The Olympics hold no interest
My favorite professional sports team going nowhere this year
Some tease at success
But they eventually sink to their natural level of mediocrity
Even the university sports teams at my alma mater
Are approaching performance lows
Books major support over the years
Even they don’t hold the same appeal
Hundreds of television channels
Streaming services for every taste
All seem blah to me
Source of momentary diversion at best
Writing on Medium is akin to tedium
False start one after another
Stillbirths and deservedly so
Feels like…
