I have postponed crying for now.
I have errands to run and I need to drive.
And I'd look like a fool at the bank.
Though I think I tore the check without really trying.


I have postponed crying for now.
People are hungry and there are vegetables to chop.
And I need my eyes to be open.
Though it's not as hard as I thought to bite your tongue until it hurts.



I have postponed crying for now.
It's a busy day tomorrow and I need sleep
Though my back hurts mysteriously
And I seem to have dug my fingernails into my palms.


And I'll dream it all didn't happen.
And then wake up and know it did.
And I'll wish my eyes could stay closed.
And my pillow will be wet somehow.

But I have postponed crying for now.
This is not something I've been working on for long. It's just a little poem I wrote down the other night and decided to share.
