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
