Broke, Broken.

a new year began

the days were just the same

as the old of the year before

heavy sad feelings of anxiety

with stomach pains

still lingered on

insomnia - sleepless nights

stress and worry.

a january tuesday

dismal - gray, cold, rain

a drive alone to sweden,

on the E6 south

not made

broken down car

stranded in Råde Norway

to sit on a couch

at a mechanic shop,

drinking coffee

and reading

the book read -

Patti Smith's Just Kids.

waiting

for a ride from a friend

wanting, with hope

for things to just get better
