Day 4: Feeling Better?


Feeling better?
I turned my regrets into paper,
the magic trick of some self helper.
I should have followed the recipe more closely
though I managed the folding of my words all right,
to throw away a low voice and want for friends.
lack of spontaneity, not giving a fuck
for gossip, not combing someone’s hair or missed romance
all the scribblings went into a container.
I did that all right.
After a few attempts, I got them all in,
flown from a distance, from an office chair
Into a cup. That was my mistake.
I stood up, walked to it,
drank it down in one.
