i brought the potted plant into the kitchen
nobody remembered to water him
this week
and he was looking downtrodden
and wilty.

all that talk about
microwaved hotdogs
and pork chops cooked
a half dozen different ways
has made me slightly hungry

i have some granola bars
in my locker and
two and one half hours
until shift ends

looking forward to
seeing the inside of
these eyelids
insomnia has been crushing
all my best dreams lately

here's hoping
you have better
luck
