LETHARGY AND WIRE



arrives at 9 AM/doesn’t even say hello

powerful urge to shop online
lengthy
wishlists
don’t cut no mustard/i crave PRODUCT
packaged in postal brown
to fall
thru
the
door

and i want one of them massive bags of crisps
to munch thru like a machine
i'll
feel bad and over salted 
lobes 
clogged with carb

tiny white pill holds black at bay
but
smiles
are forced and from habit and coffee

i relax into them with effort and decaff and herb

but
the
fog
is heavy/rolls in on the sound of horns

not touching any bottles i write small poems
in
the
lean times about
almost 
nothing 
at 
all
