Groundhog Day

Does it matter what you do

or matter what you say?

 

Does anything mean anything

when you live Groundhog Day?

 

Is there a way to please the Gods

Or maybe there’s no point at all.

And if I had to make a choice,
Still, I would choose the same, with all I had.

To a place where summer rains 
Submerge mundane lands 
And bleached s...

Creative

I need to buy tablet pen tips

Forty two hours since my last nap

Forty two thousand taps, scrapes,

And frustrated sighs

How much in sales today?

Can I sleep yet?

Is it enough?

How many strokes across digital canvas

To correct the damage done 

One commission to the next

My heart left these works long ago

Onward, fingers, onward 

Create the things they want to see
