SITTING HERE CONTEMPLATING

I sit here tonight in my chair, as I
so often do, and tired I gaze around
my room and take in the idea I could
lose myself here for hours, hell
days, months even, of just reading
and watching and listening and not
having to talk to anyone and it
seems like bliss but then I realise
hell it’s October tomorrow and time
to lay off those imposters and get back
to the real deal and the finishing up
of my god-damn second novel.
