they all have been, depending
upon what i'm watching or
looking at at that time
this is not your journal
sometimes i wonder if this
is even my journal
is this even my life at 40
what? 40! who let that happen?
i was gobsmacked at 30
i had no plan past 25
so i have been surfing
the time line
now that i'm sober
i'm being the child/teen
i left off at
40 going on 16
i can see why it drives doc crazy
i try to stay in the now
but that teen screams to be let out
and succeeds at the worst times
orange sheets, teddy bear clutching
teen clothing, the obsession with
the camouflage these things
are natural to me
weird to others, inappropriate
and just wait until i get thinner
it's good only my grey hair gives me away
when i'm thinner, i'll keep my hair dyed
