I don't know
what to write
about today.
I told the man
my aunt had died
to get out of
eight hours spent
behind an
emotionless desk.
after that a
ran to the
store and
bought a
sandwich with
no cheese
because I fear
the hardening
of my arteries.
now I lie between
the choices of
drinking heavily,
masturbating, or
both in the vacant
house that's been
left to me for the
day.
even in all this
silence, I cannot
seem to find peace
as the endless
possibilities keep
me from taking any
real action.
perhaps I am my
own worst problem.
