'Gymnastics' - a Poem - Freewrite #3

Overgrown Ivy

i was sure i had
a purpose

why else - in the kitchen

numbers on my hand the winning ones?

was i about to call
the hotline...

get this whole thing straightened

out - no that was it - the measurements

                                 to build a bird bath out
                                                           beside the patio
                         my wife had asked me

                                                                             when that was
                                                                             when was that...
                                                                             when

it mattered if i made her happy

                                                       but that’s lost
                                                                                like last month’s roast
                                          behind the fridge, the ones before that

ah, so here’s the combination
for the kitchen sink - no safe, no wait...

maybe i should try
up in the bedroom
