Fumbling Towards a Switch

Ted Jackins

It is within
this bottle
that I drink toasts to
nothingness-
smoke curling ‘round
my face,
like grey brush strokes
tracing burrows from cheek
to lips and back.
At night I hover
over secret typewriters
which hum and click
with all the words I’m
too afraid to speak-
soft strings,
perhaps stray Miles’
blown blues will
become wind worn
soundtrack to my alone
thoughts-
no more mischief in life,
sad 26 and unstable
along highway walking
home barefoot
drunk and raving
with miserable laughter,
I will be found here-
I will be found-
where the brook no longer
babbles,
no,
it merely mumbles as incoherent
as I feel.
