Call it Paranoia

For some inexplicable
reason
this next gig
has given me the jitters

not like it's stage fright
or the unpleasant delays
that never get you there
on time

not like the shimmering
blue night
but the eerie gut-feeling
that says
you'll never make it there
at all

a car crash
a fluke
bad coronaries
or the deep slicing
of your left index finger

like I did
just now

I'm day dreaming
hallucinating, perhaps
I'm miscalculating
like harmonic debris

I'm ok
I'm awake
still standing
here, in the kitchen

confused, parched
and hmmm....even hungry

Now, where did she
hide that salami?

Reviewed by Katy Walsvik (Reader)
Reviewed on April 8, 2006
As a firm supporter of anything in the "humor" category, I zipped over to read this... not a bit disappointed that I did.

You have kept the dark side at bay, yet covered the oh, so human side of that "P" word in your title.

Good stuff! katy xox
