VERSIFICATION

 Talk about a wasted day...

Would you recognize depression if you saw it?

Is it something you could write about - or maybe draw it?

Folks often tell me to “snap out of it” or “don’t have a fit”

but it takes more than THAT to overcome this shit.


Friday morning’s hesitation to arise; 

My bed is ideal for relaxation.

Nearly noon; I’ve come to the realization

that I missed taking Thursday's medication.


Depression raging, my observation’s

that even one day without psych medication

depriving myself of a day’s allocation 

has now become my pre-occupation.


Instead of weeding my yard’s vegetation,

I focus on every indication 

that I, in pure desperation,

have reached a new low: stagnation.


Where is my former dedication 

to work out of doors? Edification 

to strive for my planned migration 

from indoors to a garden location.


The frequent recurring indication -

that nothing serves as inspiration -

when I get this way. Such frustration 

to waste a whole day in self-recrimination


Despite the clear day - no precipitation -

becomes a true revelation. Where digging in dirt 

was once met with wild anticipation -

it’s now Null and Void; a cancellation.


So what will I do for recreation? 

It would not be a wild accusation 

to call me lazy. Verification 

is easy to admit; a confirmation.


Now half-past three, my affirmation 

Is: Today resembles a stay-cation; 

by going nowhere plus de-celeration

I've reached Couch Potato Station


It all comes down to my avocation 

(or hobby) of writing; a transformation 

from this sloth-like permutation 

to a dedicated occupation.


When depression yields self-recrimination, 

it's hard to find the determination 

to move past this ennui situation

and seek much-needed motivation.


Until I reach the point of illumination -

that I wasted a whole day - reaps indignation

Informs me through this notification

that TIME, once lost, equals NEGATION.

More Tulip Tales

My kitten is talkative, especially on mornings when I sleep late. She tries to wake me up to feed her Meow.


Tulip keeps jumping on counters; e.g., walking amongst two rows of my medicine and supplements. I have to consider how to cat-proof that space.


Yesterday I found a black plastic suction cup below the fridge. I have no idea where Tulip found it or what it went to. In any case, I 86'd it.


Tulip's front paws still bear the strings from her declawing. I tried to cut them off, but she wasn't happy about it. Yes, she told me so.


¡Pobrecita!

(poor little girl)
