No difference

at 4:00 pm
the only difference between
now and 20 minutes
ago
is that my eyes
are open
otherwise
there’s no
action
no movement of
electrical pulses
exploding
from one
neuron to
another

there is no
change in the
beating of my
heart
exercise is lifting
diet sodas
cleaning weed
and championed
tosses at the
black headed
thugs in the
cage
but for the moment
nothing

I’m trying to grasp
a thought
about anything
but it’s comes like
sludge in hair clogged
pipes
if I could find a stick
or coat hanger
I would shove it up
my nose and
stir
still there’s nothing
original

I’m cruising the
emotions to see
if there’s anything
there
anger seems to be
to tired
melancholy is bored
disaffected
lust can’t be bothered
so my dick’s on it’s
own
it doesn’t seem to
care much
either

so I guess I can’t
be bothered
going back to bed
is the only
option
