In my late thirties

Where are my thoughts? Where are my thoughts of writing that book the world has been missing. The inspired one. They were here. My thoughts were-

Where are my notes on changing the world? I can't seem to put my hand on anything solid.
It's all gas.

That movie script?
That play? - the one that was going to make me the next Lorraine Hansberry.

That revolutionary idea escapes me.

All I can do now is scratch and try to remember.

Read a book - that I could have written and enjoy the word of a writer in his rhythm.

Dangit! Where are my scribbles? The ones that used to pull me out of the bed one limb at a time.

I sleep now.
Instead of waking up,
I sleep.

I sleep.
