I am embracing
failure,
having no prospects.
no burning desires, 
no urgent calling
no purpose.

I do not look my best 
I do not dress to impress
I have no need to win friends and influence people

and I have no plans to change this.

I am stopping to smell the roses
I am being here now

listening to the sound of one hand clapping

Martha
I'm just coming out of a year of black rage followed by three years of blackest of black depression.

Your poetry touches my heart
I hope you are ok
I'm still willing to cut fabric
