1/19/08 Note to Self

Sometimes I think
I need to tie
a little red satin ribbon
around my index finger
to remind myself
that I am still talking
and that I should stop
now
or soon
and that no one is listening
anymore
or shouldn't be
and also
that I already finished
saying what I was going to say
a long time ago
and that if there's nothing else to say
that I should just stop
and be done
like
now
ish.
