Just Not Feeling It Today Poem by Annie Carmona

Just Not Feeling It Today



I'm just not feeling it today.
I have no brilliant thoughts or smartly woven abstract
ideas to put on paper to impress somebody.
My mind wanders to the speeding ticket that I have to
pay before I go to jail. Wondering where I'm going to pull
that money out of. Surely I won't get put in jail, will I?
I focus on the cherry flavored candy I'm chewing on. It's good.
It's Halloween time. Not feeling that either.
My mind go's back to the prose I'm trying to write.
Shall I attempt to be witty, tart, sad, risque', intelligent
or even stupid? I can't decide. Nothing sounds right or fitted.
I'm just not feeling it today.
My grandfather's passing for lack of sodium in his body
crosses my mind...I wonder why? Maybe I can write a
poem about him and how much I miss him. But the words
won't come. That sadness remains a feeling that I can't comit
to words.
Last night when I went to bed I was full of ideas but I can't
summon a single one of them forward...every memory of last
nights thoughts are a blur. Maybe a new idea?
I wonder what jail is like?
I don't know...I'm just not feeling it today.
