In a daze,
I write.
I wish that,
I could mellow out.
to think more clear,
to drink my sorrows,
with my right hand.
I cannot discern,
no decisions,
I recommend.
Perhaps I can do it after 3 beers.
I have no guts,
I'm just stuck.
But for now I'll contemplate,
the idea of getting drunk.

Love that line. I've got a great recipe for a purple crayon martini, if you're interested. And well...you don't sound stuck to me. Well done!

I'm not so sure you're stuck walker, perhaps you have only paused for a moment of sanity. Great poem. BTW, thanks for the letter, I'm glad you enjoyed the article I sent.

Walker...(you don't mind me capitalizing the "W" do you? Now, have a pretzel, while I ENJOY your poem. Bob
