Consciousness

If you’re not sure

then pause, wait

and listen to the sounds

of conscious—nothing—ness.

Be productive

You have two options:

be productive or be counterproductive—

choose wisely.

option C

Surely, this, isn’t, healthy

but the alternative just seems

so entirely soul crushing

that if this, is, so, unhealthy

than there surely must be

an option C: since A & B

are now, defunct.

The reason our parents told us not to worry about the mail.

So

here’s the thing.

You’ve got two options.

Either succumb to the pressure

or roll with the punches.

Take note, being an adult

means a diet of eating shit,

and just when you’re ahead,

another bill arrives,

a parking ticket

a meter reading

a doctor visit that’s killing you.

Just spare us

the headache

and chew

with your

mouth closed.

Because we all have our own plate to eat.

No one is asking for seconds.
