You wake up and look around
screaming god all fucking mighty:
The writing’s on the wall.
You got nothing.
You can’t love the world too much
it will feel constricted
turn away
scuttling off
despite your pleas
The world doesn’t want your
lousy opinions, your tears
and all the rest.
It wants what it wants.
Settle down. Eat a Twinkie.
