Pat, depression bad - me good. You smart - you sweet. I had the same problem dear, but I saved the dog food in the bag. Quite a mess.
p.s.
I ate the strings. (That is how I got strung out)

Pat, it's always a gift to read your work!
Funny how poets can run the gamut of manic thought
while still being sane enough to know we may
belong in the funny farm;-)

Depression is such a lost feeling. We all experience it from time to time, some more often than others.
You've expressed it very well with words. Lisa

Interesting write and perspective. And now I know why I have an entire drawer full of those 50-lb dog food bag strings.
