Sinkhole


Learning how to "like" again is a tough sell...


I don’t understand how to do this thing called “like”
I know hurt.
I know need.
I know lust.
I know love. I think.
I don’t know like.

I feel it...seems to go straight to the corner of Love and Hurt.
How do I find Like and stay there for awhile.
I want to hang out at the coffee shop at the corner of Like and Easy.
Where’s the map? I’m searching for the dropped pin.
Google connects me to Pinterest. Really, Google?

He says to live in the moment.
She says to take it day by day.
What do I do with the Crazy in my head who is stranded at Love and Hurt.
She second-guesses, questions, distrusts, lies and teases.
Crazy keeps me safe from Hurt and blocked from Love -
She is the fence around the sinkhole of my story.

Crazy is at the corner of Love and Hurt.
Me, I’m trying to find the intersection of Like and Easy.
And, right now, I’m a little lost by the sinkhole down the street.
