Forbearance

A Poem by " I Love These Flowing Robes " - Carlton

I've become boring
Searching 
Without doing the dirty work
Motionlessly frantic
Too much time for thinking
Inaction, more appropriately
Ill-conceived action
Immobile 
Bittersweet and tacky
Cloying
Dull
For want of what?
I don't remember
I don't remember who I was
It can't be that far
Yet, it is all but out of sight
A slow pulsing
I see nothing
Or this blank, soft blue haze
I've been here before
Too many times for a city this big
The smoking is getting out of hand
I still don't want to open that cheap bottle of champagne
Buying orange juice is painful
I'm not even sure I can finish this
Much less go to the grocery store
