from my 2014 book, "Cottage Industry Of Uncool".
I'm sure this half full mood will pass
Not so unusual that it's unnerving
But something that doesn't come up on the playlist
Too often these days
I can already feel it starting to subside
Mostly due to aching muscles
Incurred after my early morning run
When I was more open and inspired
In the cool november air of dawn
As the gift of marvin gaye
Continued to wash over me
Now it's late morning
And having been to the bank to deposit more charity
While listening to billy collins
Convince me to continue down my path
I need to bang the erasers
Setting aside the chalk
To let the steam build once more
In the generic caffeine
Of early afternoon
