Like Always
Tuesday, August 15, 2006
Like Always Current mood: indescribable
Empty bottle
Prescription
Gone
Like always
A temporary break
Breaking the cycle
Like always
Seeking
Help
Like always
Trusting
Needing
Believing
Like always
Beating
Stubborn
Wanting to win
Like always
Giving up
Embrassing me
Like always
Covering
With blankets
With cigarettes
With fantasy
Like always
Alcohol
Securities
Shopping
Second hand stores
Like always
Crying
Running
Passing out
Missing out
Like always

| If this is ACCIDENTAL POETRY then such accidents are an eye opener into the way another feels. Wayne, the honesty is real! Good work. |

| This listing is very effective here because what could seem 'maudlin' or 'self-pitying' becomes more like a mantra. By mixing up highs and lows and putting 'like always' near it. I don't know- it somehow takes on a hopeful tone. I guess in the 'this too shall pass' kind of way, whether the 'this' is 'good' or 'bad'. now that i'm typing that, i'm realizing the poem is almost 'buddhist' like in it's recognition of everything is always changing and to not get attached. |

| I was drawn to this title- and fully appreciate the middle lines about embarassment and covering. I like how the "like always" stands as the bookend OR preface OR end to each example, like one of those opticle illusion pictures of stairs that look upside down and right side up at the same time. |

| Sounds like all the vices added in one, booze, drugs, shopping, the needy vices. Like the way you put this one together, Wayne, Thanks for the read. |
