FORCING MYSELF

A Poem by Gary Schooley

A look at my life as a 75 year young paraplegic of 32 years. It's been a good life so no serious complaints.

FORCING MYSELF


always about thoughts

is all it is thats it

everything else is in 

the physical realm cool

always good to get with

the heart rate blood pressure

know the workings of your body

i have to force myself to get active

coffee i've come back to after

a brief absence for some reason



i don't know what the subject was about

that first paragraph reading it over

had to be read as it is written

it is the introduction truly magical gusts

of cleansing scattering winds 

four thousand years ago 

life was different and here we are now

and now we are here as for me

i have to force myself to get through the day 

I can laugh at this phenomena

having to force myself to do anything

placed and misplaced words 

not anything I thought went into a word

i have to dull out the edges though

i can be rough on myself



so again, another paragraph to explain, 

describe, and tell what those other two 

are about, whats their trip, and how does

this have anything to do with us at all

being here leaving the grammatical errors

no matter it is about having to force myself

to do more physical stuff, not that i'm

a couch potato by no means it just gets rugged

the more years you have on you yeah, so,

this is an example of wayward thinking

there is a lot going on a lot of movement

swaying rolling twisting hully gully spinning

so many changes on all levels makes you

want to check them out go back go in

be there that other phase time was...

am who now same old story, it's a way 

of staying off-story in deep gullies crevices

keep it all at the introduction phase

slightly hidden concealed confusing

this lessons concludes with 

the last five lines or so; sleepy is my excuse..
