If only just from today.

Today was kind of dumpy.
Rained in the morning.
Grey the whole day.
Pumped on caffeine.
Ate the wrong lunch.
Couldn’t get inspired.
Wanted to leave work.
Then the fire alarm went off, which I took as God’s sign to find alcohol.
OK, it wasn’t him. But I went anyway.
Had some beers.
Sat alone.
Texted friends on my phone.

Generally feeling bad about myself.

Took BART back home and fell on my bed.
Undressed, hopped in the shower and started singing.
All of the sudden I had a moment of clarity,
and realized what question I’d failed to ask.
What is missing from my life?
I realized the answer.
If only just from today.
