I am not yet quite over it.
I am lying down on top of it.
Surveying behind me a wasteland
Of dried-up promise.

With dull mocking uncertainty.

And the looking forward of the past has been belied. — John Tottenham

RIVETING TORPOR

In order to avoid doing the one thing that might
Provide satisfaction, and it is remarkable to consider

Of being dissatisfied. When it is merely a matter
Of sitting down for a few hours and dreaming
That something of value might eventually arise
From this routine of self-enforced boredom. — John Tottenham

IMPROVIDENCE
The other lives I might have led
All now might as well be

In art and love. With no time left
To change my course. But time enough
for infinite remorse. — John Tottenham

SONG OF DAWN
I saw the sun rise by accident.
It was a horrible sight.
Annoyed by its splendor, I sought refuge
in a moist pillow, and lay there, alone,
at the dawn of another day,
that brought me closer to another death,
pondering the vanity of my solitude,
the vanity of procrastination,
and the tiresome inevitability of waking up
again the same person.
It might still be possible to change,
but obstinately I remain the same,
hoping that others might take solace
in my consistency.
But perhaps they take no solace in it,
perhaps they too find it tedious. — John Tottenham
