This is just a little note taped inside of my
Medicine cabinet. Some reaffirmation, attempted
Reincarnation of who I once was--and it's not

Regression if I used to be a better person and
I just want to be him again. This is just a little
Quote from some dead author living on my shelf.

Some cheesy old cliches that I repeat every day
Inside my head--and with notebooks full of reminders
Tucked all under my arms I could get through the

Day if I could just get out of bed. I'll tell
Myself a thousand things, a few of which I may even
Believe--and I'll tape up notes that someone

Else wrote and construct meanings to my dreams
And hope I can convince myself I know what
Anything means by tomorrow.
