The shift linkage in the van went kerput yesterday morning. It wasn't an easy trip home. The problem wasn't as easy to fix as I might have liked last night while I was lying on the ground in the rain. I am committed to solving said problem tomorrow or at least making a good go of it. After that early to bed and early to rise is the plan.
I stand on the red line platform staring down at the third rail. Is it the desire to really be alive or is it the desire not to? I never could tell. But the attraction is real.
Bah! I make a lousy poet and a worse mystic. At best I'm a simple lunatic with the emphasis on simple. I steal other's lines because they're better than mine.
