Thoreau said "simplify" and
what is it that you really need?
separate what is just dead weight
from the lightness of your being...
i could not contain my
yes
yes tomorrow i will wake up at the last possible minute
which will still be a minute in a ridiculous hour
and i will drive in my car and consume my calories and cups
just to make it past noon
when i will try to regain the rest i need
so that i can stay awake to
watch with consternation
at hours winding down
as late becomes
later than it should be
again.
there is weight we cannot escape
and there is weight we choose.
thinking of you
thinking of no one
thinking of the weight of a hundred breaking hearts
only one of them my own.
