You are my ocean
but I cannot dive into you
your waves are violent
I will drown
Alcohol.
And train schedules.
A commuter's tightrope.
The last stop, Hpnotiq.
Where it rains sadness.
Where they're numb
To the moment of inertia.
Preferring instead to
Live on the rim.

cookie cutter husband
soccer practice
9-5
wake-up
rinse and repeat

...and yet, I envy it all
