those of you
that have been reading me
for a while
will remember my
Zippy the Clown
story

those of you
that haven’t read it
go here

go ahead
I’ll wait….

tap tap tap tap!

so
today
there’s a new version
of Zippy

while I was
sitting in the dark
on the couch
watching tv
and eating dinner

it eventually occurs to me
that the wee dog
is chewing on something
that she shouldn’t be

I flip on the light
and discover
she’s got a tube
of lipstick

and somewhat
like me
she’s got it
all over her face
all over her feet
on the couch
on the aphgan
and
on the floor

perfect!

I spend too much time alone

in the deepest darkness
of the night

when I am alone
with only my thoughts
and music
to keep me
from losing my mind

I miss you the most

when I think back
to what was
and think also
what could have been…

I am broken

blow
after
blow
after
blow
after
blow

year after year
after year

break me down

I am strong
but for the deepest
darkness of the night
where I am alone

there’s nothing even left
to fix

it just carries on
without me

for I spend too much time alone.
