I forgot and now I am stretched and exposed, a taxidermied specimen against the wall. Pins punched through my achilles heels and wrists and everything hurts so much, constantly. What's the worst is the fog that's implored my drunken brain to circle like a cat near a hearth, and s u b d u e itself. It only stirs to blink m u g g y and gooey eyes at me before it yawns and eats away at my body. I am embalmed, alive, with no protest. I forgot to get more pills. I forgot, I am so sorry. I called them and they sent them and it's been three days It should have been here by now. I should've been able to move, to breathe, to think without being frustrated by every insufferable task. It will never get better, it will never be better. I just want my p i l l s to be here by now I can't e ve n t h i n k
