Static

Today was a day of static:
A noun meaning a staccato haze of perception
Interrupted thoughts
Misconstructions
Irritating fuzz
The acrid smell of dust burning.
Today was a day of static:
A discouraging adjective
Nothing changing
In a state of stasis
Preservation of the mediocre
The tepid
The mundane.
Where's my joy?
Today brought a ray of hope
Emanating from Shawna the Post Master.
Will memories rise from the bowels
of the Mail Recover Center?
My "come to me" beacon is glowing, fueled by faith.
Today my resistance to routine relented
a micron or so.
My radar was tuned to sloppy thinking.
Lots of bogeys showed up on the screen.
