Calm before the storm



It reminds me of Beethoven
(All of my references are from
pop culture)

And the wind cries
Mary
And I run a treadmill to nowhere
In the summer heat
Carry weights
Push
Pull
But not too much

Then smoke a half cigarette
Down to the end
Scramble to find the right music
Struggle to make these lines
Balance
For why - I do not know

They don’t
So I forget my own rules
And sit in the dark
And flip a coin that lands on its edge
How I do not know
But it is no surprise

And today like every day
There’s war outside
Everywhere except in here
It seems

Though if you looked hard enough
I’m sure you could find it in here
Too.
