sustenance

the sunshine bright and brittle
like new ice
translucent dreams still awash
and sinking

sitting waking up fresh from
bed to the chair to the computer
keyboard

their laughter from the living
room down the hall
the air conditioner in the kitchen
window over the sink
it weighs around a hundred pounds
every year i take it out and every
year i put it in
rumbling away like white noise
and here

the computer tower now has two
fans the sound puts me to sleep
lulling and consistant
the black case the professinal
looking front

the flat lcd screen bright and colourful
the day nears twelve

im out of coffee and my stomach
asks for it

with latest stress eating is
seconday to just getting by
coffee coffee on the brain

take coffee and two pain killers
two 222's to help my back and now
the broken clavicle that healed
not to well but thats life
pain is a freind for many
so im no special to be immune to
lifes passing and age has been
kind so far

i need a shower but wont take
one yet i have fresh clothes
but i like the tired smell
the feeling of the old clothes
comfortable

the cats are waking up
and i need to go downtown
on the bike need to feel
movement the wind pushing
my hair back when im on
the flat streets full of
trees and old houses in
the higher gears the front
tire thumping over the
cracks and potholes the
uneven surface the springs
squeaking on the front
suspension

the bike is wearing and
aging fast its heavy
but not too well made
cheap production
but I love it

without it I would not be
in the shape Im in
would not have lost the
weight that was so much
pulling my already aged
spine forward

i had a lot of trouble
with all that fifty pounds
i lost when it was on me

like writing just keep
pushing just keep writing
the mind the imagination
will push along too

stamina is something earned
not given for most
simple exercises keep
most people away

like biking I write much
write often stretching
thoughts using different
word applications like
gears on the mountian
bike

a slow foray into the
further
the more complex

the sun shines
they are laughing and
joking with each other

and I need a coffee
