Stir crazy
I don't know what my problem is.
It's... a bit like sitting in a room
at a table
by a sunny window
with a cup of Earl Grey
steaming, even though it's getting warmer
and a new book
well-written, with a fascinating plot
that carries the reader to a place
so whimsical and wonderful
but comfortable enough to feel like home
and all around people are laughing
their hushed conversation
and the clink of cups on saucers
ambient as the rush of the sea
a soothing, meditative soundtrack
in the endless study of life
...and in the midst of this blissful serenity
and seeming perfection
I am staring out the window
with the itchy feeling
that there is somewhere else I need to be.

I am taking my GED in a week.
...then, I think I am going to start learning French.
