There Have Been

Bad Moments

11-7

I'm so far away from here.
 
But I'm still...
 
I can see my feet sitting there in front of me. I can see myself sitting here. My mind is on some tropical beach, tall glass sweating away the cold of what's inside..
 
but I can still...
 
My legs are there in front of me, running down like tree roots to my feet, keeping me from sinking into the green and white flecked carpet.

 
I'm losing vacation time every second. Around here, you have to schedule vacation time in advance - just so everyone can know when everyone else will be out. No matter what, at least one of us has to be here.
 
I need to schedule my time, but my plans are in flux. I don't know what I'm doing or when I want to do it, so I I can't request the time yet -- but the longer I wait, the less available time there is...
 
I'm still....
 
Perhaps I should just mark some time off in the books and then go home and say "this is the opening, where do we want to go?" But plans with family are plans within plans around the plans of others. I should just put my foot down and say "here are the days, this is when we're going."
 
I should take action, but
 
I'm still.
 
When will everyone be in one place?
When's a good time to go?
Can they put us up for a night?
 
There's only one thing I want to do, but I can't do it.

 
I'm still...
 
here.
