one more down, more left

times, some, it’s all you can do to remember your life. the options seem too attractive. you forget about feeling safe and instead remember the thrill of looking down that unfamiliar highway and want to press down hard, flinging your past into the dark nowhere so that there is only the firm, moist wind filling the empty caravan, the neglected corners flush with attention. you are not sober. you have left restraint at fifth and are well on your way to sixteenth street, knowing at once that in the morning sunlight, the dirty laundry, the empty cat dish, and the dirty sheets, are signs to stop off at reality. you have already agreed to park here for a while longer because most of your time is spent.

between the sheets

For this episode of Spam-a-lot Sunday, Lesage reminds us to “stop feeling inadequate in bed.”

And now, a poem.

between the sheets

sundays you are prone
to receive unsolicited advice
unfiltered and encouraging

stop feeling
inadequate

growth is possible
now between the hours of 4 and 6
as long as you can guarantee
the dream-state

have passport ready
