What am I thinking? Don’t

October 05, 2003

What am I thinking? Don’t really know. It doesn’t seem like anything is staying too long in here. Nothing dark and serious has had a foothold lately. In general terms these are the salad days. I walk the dog. I feed the kids. I help with homework. I avoid big jobs that need to be done. I remain hidden under piles of work that has been pushed aside for the big jobs of the recent past. I return to questions that I once knew the answer to but have now forgotten again. I forget people’s names that I really should remember. A lot of stuff I know I should know its perched on the tip of my tongue in danger of being swallowed again. I watch the skies for storms. I scan the horizon for approaching armies and shuffle back into my cave.
