Slow it Down

Here is a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry from my recently published books. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsFfqF7Cuhc

There is a
buzzing to my
busyness.
My mind refuses
to be at ease.
It happens when I
try to
read or sleep.

Doing Always.

Where did the
playground go?
I think it split for
Brazil with the
squirrels.
We are all nuts.

I can relate Thomas, to your lovely poem of self awareness.
Very few of us have trained our minds. Years and years ago, working with a Sufi guide, I made some progress in that area but now, I am sorry to report, my mind has fallen back into “buzzing” unease and disarray. Unfortunately alcohol quiets my mind.
That last stanza will stay with me all day.

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it.

This poem perfectly captures the frantic hum of modern minds — that endless motion we mistake for meaning. The humor softens the truth, but it still stings. I’ve felt that same restlessness, needing distraction just to breathe. Sometimes I quiet it with small escapes, like a few light games at https://uz-pincocasino.com/ — tiny moments of calm in the noise.

Thank you, my friend.

Profound and really rather complex, for all that the surface of the Piece seems straightforward. Really Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
