Competition

It is a blamy Monday evening and I am stuck, unable to pick up the dangling threads of my stories and unfurl them.

So many, yet none appeal.

I wonder if my mind has just clamped down on itself once more, with an inability to let go and wander.

I need to wander. Once more.

Into the wilderness of my own head, alone.

No beguiling lover enticing me away from myself.

For I am a weak competitor for the other loves in my life. Friends, her, family, the dogs, even the regular tribulations of trivial daily life.

I cannot compete with those.
