Unstacked Zeds

getting up and out of bed

and going to work

sits at the top of my list

of things that

can get fucked

no really

it can it is it does it will

getting up and out of bed

and going to work

seemingly twice as tired

as the night before

and

at such an ungodly hour

(what comprises a godly hour?)

trying to sleep normal like

that too

escapes eludes eschews

this insomnia holds me

with every waking moment

ringing bells

that don't exist

the drums of hell

bang and persist

a perfect 4/4 fill

i chew

the glass

of the broken

my mouths

my ears

my eyes

all bleed

in this

semi permanent

turning and tossing

errant neuron bossing

when all that's really needed

is just

a healthy mental flossing
