monday morning
snaps head to the left
two vertebrae crack
head to the right
three
i’m out of coffee
it’s 70 degrees in the december
of our mass extinction
my friend is dead
yet the train still has the nerve to run
somewhere a toddler is firing a gun
my sons will always have autism
i need to see my mother before long
god went out for cigarettes
and never came back home
take small comforts in
the vices and rituals
you know
in the end
the earth will shrug
as it watches us go

If it can even be bothered to do that much…
