do you feel a little
all dressed up with no place to go?
we got all hexed up with the war
and the anti-war
and the p.o.w's
and the toppling of saddam
and the constant news footage
and then
phisssssst
nothing
a few scatterings of this and that about iraq
but really nothing
no saddam
no huge climactic after-math
just quiet
just
america now spending billions of dollars rebuilding iraq
confusion over who will be in charge
and lots of other countries hating us
feels a bit odd
i guess i was ready for some sort of huge validation
here it tis
saddam
and he admits to everything
or here it tis
nuclear warheads pointed to washington and israel
oh i don't know
i guess i have to admit
whether its a remnant of post tramatic stress from september 11th
or i'm just nuts
i felt oddly comfortable
in the chaotic environment
of war
and feel oddly
uncomfortable
in all this quiet
quiet
scares me
makes me think something big is brewing
maybe i should just chill out
and let the quiet surround me
and nourish me
and just accept quiet
for what it is
a lack of noise
but
i don't trust it
i'm waiting for the next billion dollar shoe to fall
anyway
just ranting
here
maybe it's a new york thing
maybe ya'all feel it
but don't you feel just a little bit nervous right now?
the alerts have dropped
heart rates slowed
just a little too
easy for moi
aaachooooooo
at least i have my sneezes to make some noise
