in a better
head space
today
what changed?
well, i played
music
yes
i listened to music
and i played music
that always helps
and i thought about
kate bush
joni mitchell
and bjork and
the like
i thought about how
wonderfully unique they are
individuals
creative women
and i thought about how
they must have had
times like me
where they felt
singular in a bad way
and how their brilliance
comes from their ability
to articulate and express their
singular experience
and in doing so
we all discover pieces of
ourselves in it
and that brings us together
in a different, but equally vital
way
than those who spend their lives
in the company of others
this is
of course largely projection
and speculation
but it comforted me
to put myself in the company
of these women artists
as a sort of low-level peer
a cut of the same cloth
one singular sensation
just a thought
