Marley’sChains

And sitting here 
sitting here knowing 
knowing and thinking 
why and what 
why do what 
did and now 
just sitting here 
feeling the bottom 
drop out from 
just about everything 
and then this
gnawing persistent idea
keeping me anchored 
to my chair 
pride I think 
like Marley’s chains 
knowing that five 
steps two turns 
one bedroom door
away is you
