160: Desire 1, Life 0


Life has a way
Of interfering with Desire.
I want to write a 160 today.
But can’t do one; have to work.
Other deadlines must be met.

Hey look! Surprise! Desire won!

  1. I love it when that happens! Desire just has that way about it (that work will never have).

  3. work vs. desire..it's almost like good vs. evil (the desire being good and work being evil). I am in same boat today...get in pool or go to work? what a dilemma.

  8. Thanks for coming, my friends. Putting desire aside and buckling down to work has always been a problem for me. I can't say I'm sorry it just won't go sometimes.

    Even when you don't think you are writing poetry in your head, there it is, a surprise the words just come tumbling out upon the paper like magic, simply divine.
