down’s down
there are days
when all the wounds open
simultaneously: when your
favorite food tastes
of cardboard and
masturbation is just a pastime,
when you want to leave the house but
it’s twenty degrees outside
and seamless exists,
when you’d rather be six
feet under than running on
a treadmill,
when the last drop of hope
squeezed from stale future
evaporates into nothingness.
there are days when no
netflix show will make
you smile.
