Marinating in Misery

He sits at the table with his best friends Anger Resentment Hopelessness and the Six O’clock News wallowing in nightly negativity soaking in a bath of boredom marinating in misery waiting for me to turn him. copyright 2006 Rhonda Lee Richoux

Taking It Back

I’m taking back my peace of mind

and you, poor bastard,

you can have all the shit

I’ve carried with me

all these years
