Waking up
Worrying about money
Collecting funeral home cards with a saint on the front
Picking up the phone
*******
Thinking too ******* much
Pouring valuable time into invaluable pursuits
Fleeting glimpses of fulfillment
Things that make you feel more empty than before

Complications
All types of complications
Disease
Hunger
Lack of motivation
Mostly, it's a lack of content
That is the real side effect
The thorn with canines in your side
Telling you that it's never done

Be the best
Or the worst
Or anything
Please, be anything
It's better than being nothing
A lack of a person
An oxygen bandit
Another festering fat bag
A talking recycled opinion

Having a few too many drinks
And acting like a sage
The very act renders the desired result useless
Acknowledgment of enlightenment
Can only confirm
That there is so much more to learn.
