Between Sanity and Madness by Chris Sorrenti
I eat when I’m hungry
when I’m tired I sleep
and while awake
work at all the things
that keep my mind preoccupied
watch movies and documentaries
about other artists
write and read
do laundry – sometimes at four in the morning
and budget my finances
ascertaining how I can continue
all of the above
shop for groceries as I need them
shop for clothes when need be
and in combination with the aforementioned
interact either face to face or electronically
with those similar to me
it’s not the life for everyone
but it’s the life for me
I fall asleep on the couch early in the evening
while watching TV
waking up give or take four to five hours later
fully invigorated
ready to do more of what has to be done
to be in the pink as to what’s happening around me
news channels - documentaries - movies
of relevance and irrelevance
reverence - irreverence
occasionally peeking out the window
in those hours of expected dawn
confident in knowing daylight is coming
a cherished opportunity
to continue what I evolved into years ago
what works best for me
