  • Embracing the Ordinary: Thoughts from the Bathroom

    Man sitting on toilet with head resting on hand in contemplation

    Like a pig I slept. It’s 12:46 noon now and I think I didn’t get enough sleep. I fell asleep some time after 2:30 in the morning. I usually fall asleep around midnight. Yesterday night, something kept me busy.

    12:48 noon. Im sitting on the toilet seat, wondering where to go next from here. I’d rather sleep a bit more but I shouldn’t. Hunger pangs in my stomach. I should take a shower, get dressed and go out.

    12:53 noon. Nothing else makes me happier than taking a proper sh*t in the morning without much struggle. Sometimes when you take a huge dump, you start feeling somewhat dizzy in your head. Strange!

    12:55 noon. Listening to Memora by Gesafflstein. He is an amazing artist. I admire his music and come back to it from time to time.

    12:58. Time to exercise a bit, not much. These muscles need some movement. Lower back is hurting as usual. Feels incurable. I hope it isn’t.

  • What goes around goes around.

    I had been away
but I hadn't gone anywhere
I get paid once every month, 
what a failure
considering I have to live each day, every minute
I do not wish for problems that I cannot solve
I have solved many by being patient
the ones I couldn't solve, needless to say, they have ruined me
it's a day sad in appearance -
leaves falling, neighbourhood noises, screams of a cat,
a gathering sky above
I had been away and I was here,
boxed in red and darkness,
pushing past midnights on the nights
I shouldn't have been alive.
