On Stairs

I’m lost
Today
Pent up
Stressed
In pain
Depressed
The mental pain
That has expressions
Elsewhere

From neurons
To cells
And how about
Emotions

Where was I
I was sure I was around
Somewhere
Before

Am I meeting the man
Who wasn’t there
An old
And existential rhyme

In time
With time
Maybe I’ll find myself again
Even to know
A thing to you that
I could
Rhymed
Unrhyming share with you
Only my best upon
Request

C L Couch


(something like)
When
I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn’t there
I didn’t see him on the stair
Today
I wish
I wish he’d go away

(maybe I should call an existential Tuesday)
