[ My Day ]
five teacups
nine hours
two slices of bread
ham, cheese, avocado
and a bowl of milk
with passable cereal
make up my day.
The product?
sunken eyes
tired, aching fingers
a cricked neck
wavering attention
a sudden invasion
of apathy
in an otherwise
passionate soul.
you wonder why
it takes so much
effort
to reach the place
my compassion will serve
best.
