Want What

A new poem....

Want What
Sometimes
I just want to separate
Jump out
This skin
Evaporate
Into thin air
Into ether
Into another body
Happier than me

Sometimes
I just want to elevate
Transfigure
My body
Rise
Dissipate
As a gas
Into another atmosphere
All the beautiful people breathe

Because what I am
Is an unmovable soul

Because what I am
Just can't be sold

Or branded
Or packaged
Or merchandised

Because what I am
You don't want

Taking A Breather

Sometimes life gets in the way of writing. I'm no different than anyone in this respect.

There are hurdles like work, baseball games, school projects, and other obstacles (like Youth Center vans) that take priority over the really important task of blog writing. I just need to work through them and, unfortunately, I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like to.

But I'll get back to it. I know I will. Just as sure as the sun rises and trains delay on the Long Island Railroad, I will find another Don Zirkel to rant about. I will have something to share about myself and my family and friends.

But for now, I'm taking a breather, sitting on the bench and watching my teammates do their thing.

Peace and love to all on this fine April 15, 2008. Hope all is well for my friends out here in blogland.
