The Pond

Strange gloom today. Like a winter shroud, but warm, the winter that never came. Had a job interview earlier. I felt like I was gonna cry. I just got very depressed as I parked my car. Overcast, and my fiance got a new job already earlier today. School keeps me from going insane. Usually a class or two, at least, every semester, even ones I don't need for my English degree. "Introduction to Health Care" this spring, who me? I'm on a list to begin a vocational course in August as an Emergency Medical Technican. I gotta find a career. So why not, I've tried everything else. There's a demand. It would be an excellent way to keep away from my self-absorbtion tendencies, caring for others. Actually doing good. Good with a "G" really.

I wanna sit on the beach and ponder the horizon
Ponder beyond
Over the pond, where am I?
Pass myself this test: disturb my adrenachrome,
And at your foot come to rest?
Never, forever, for granted.

  1. Speaking as someone who is a licensed First Responder in the State of Minnesota, those EMT classes are very worthwhile, for others and for yourself. Yeah, it's good to get out of your own head for a while and just take care of others.
