A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


note to self on a morning just like the last one

 

 

i am a

 

half-empty

 

fulcrum

 

my life's leverage

 

out of turn

Gee
Do not become the stick that beats the humdrum Jacob. Get up, get out if only for a wee while :)
Good morning, hope you are well.

The older we get, the less leverage we have in life....unfortunately. Try walking into a store. If you are the oldest customer, chances are you will be ignored. Perhaps half empty....but still going strong. Lydi**

oooohh so sorry Jacob, if you are the oldest customer you get ignored..too bad
one can read more that one thing in these brilliantly written words, boredom, routine, desperation, and yet again emptiness can make You feel like this, but what I can sense also here, when someone is living in isolation, when they, live/think/feel not like all people, they will at some point feels that the wrong is within them, their life is not as the life of others. and I say there is nothing wrong with You Mr. Jacob, You are a true poet and a special human being that's all.

That doesn't sound like a good place to be. Maybe Hank needs to pay you some extra attention? I have to admit, that at the present time my mornings feel the same on waking, but the days do have variety. You need to get back into the classroom. Not the virtual sort either.

Has the sound of depression. Don't let it go on untreated for long.
