Airwick, just try it
It's easier than you think
The truth comes right out

I cut off my hair
I gained 10 pounds on my waist
Feel kind of ugly

How do I take this?
I used to be so pretty
I try to be kind

I see a newborn
Staring back from the mirror
Her pupils normal

Sometimes she's whining
Feels sorry for herself. Then
She smiles. 15 months

Wish my mind were blank
Better than filed with anguish
I will wash the dogs

That should cheer me up
Then they can roll in the snow
And I'll build a fire

To warm them again
Their little faces smiling
So my day is made

i'm still practicing
turning off my brain chatter
ain't no easy task

drugs are easier
taking pills and checking out
but that's not healing

but it's still tempting
to gain relief from myself
but that's not for me

not these days at least
despite the rash of nightmares
what is that about

dreamt last night i was
falling from a balcony
but i didn't land

and the other night
i woke up screaming and it
caused the dog to howl

the dog sensed my pain
deep angst rising from my gut
echoing my cries

an intruder lurked
in the house in my dream and
i tried to scare him

but i scared myself
disturbed my dog and caused my
wife to say i'm bent

so yes a blank mind
is something for which to wish
also to work toward

Sitting here staring
I'm going stir in this house
It froze hard last night

We dug the truck out.
But it doesn't stay dug out
Driveway long and treacherous

My doggies love it
I'm suiting up for a hike
Need some rosy cheeks

Ought to do some work
I should dig out the woodpile
But I don't want to

I am a shadow
Personality UN-plus
I settle for this

Cause it's all I got
Right now, here in my corner
My ears are ringing

Too much is too much
Sometimes you have to be quiet
Wait till it's over

Don't like my body
I would rather not have one
Sometimes, when it hurts

Nothing can be done
Except just to roll in it
Until I'm all done

Hmm, I just got that
Hairy men with all your junk
Glad I'm a woman!

Tapped out this AM
Raining on top of the snow
The mud's a comin'

I'm still in the bed
And there's not a thing to eat
Oh wurra, wurra

I'd best get moving
Least I can do some house work
Make a cozy cave

unseasonably
cold then unseasonably
warm in the rockies

shoppers slip sliding
on ice and slush to get their
thanksgiving supplies
