Driving home this evening
a storm threatens the calm
heavy clouds reflect my mood
an ominous gray cloak
tinged with purple rage

The night’s eyes engorged
a disturbing texture of
pulsating ambiguity
swollen with caged tears
like my own

My car is shrinking
or maybe it’s the world
closing in on me
and I am suffocating
beneath the weight of something

Pulling over to stumble out
gasping in the exhaust
of passing cars as
inquisitive fish faces stare at me
from transitory aquariums

I am the spectacle that sparks
their morbid curiosity
that crazy looking woman
losing it, losing everything
On the side of the road

I stand there in the dark
the first clap of thunder
drowning out my enraged screams
surrendured to the storm
as it begins to rain....

Oh...I guess I was once again sucked in, chewed up and spit out by that thing we call life...

How about you?  How are you doing?
