New Life
By JFarrell
Day 10, Year 0
And I am still sober;
Started a new job this morning,
My first job since March 2000.
My college asked me, “How do you feel about doing higher level work,
You’re obviously more than capable.”
And I am hopelessly in love;
Not bad for a waste of space drunk.
My body aches all over,
I feel like I got flu,
I’m not sleeping well,
When I do sleep, I wake to find my bed soaked with sweat,
I’m eating poorly,
Quick snack when I remember I’m hungry,
And one out every three snacks stays down;
Like I said, waste of space drunk.
And I have never felt so alive,
So capable,
So powerful;
Jim,
Welcome to your new life,
And, the 21st Century.
