To me it seems to be dealing with multiple issues at once, sort of unique that way. Perhaps that is just a way to deal with a deeper issue. "Finish the goddam story already." Is obviously talking about the story/script your writing. Then the rest of the poem seems to be talking man to woman, trying to forget but to in love to do it. Although it could refer to the love of writing or directing. The last five lines deviate away from either concept on the surface. "closer to what?" could be a reference to the play you just directed or it could hold other meanings. Centrifugal force is inertia, so too much inertia too turn or change course is so much of our lives. So far along, too much energy invested to start something else. It seems almost hopeless, yet refer back to the beginning. Coping with hope, there is always hope, hope to finish, hope to try something else, always hope. Hope is truly hard, it conflicts with logic, find that love thats spoken of here and follow it. This is a really interesting poem.
