bolted to an ambiguous young adult medicine complexion

siamese small in the morning, and quadruple sugar coated in the evening

the days leak from socked feet and puddles of drool

the evenings rumble a trip of electrocuted drowsy dread

New York was long ago now, Los Angeles is the bed

and this shiny prescription complexion will surely be the next rest

alarm the drooping trees

alarm the hum of cable tv

alarm the honking in the streets

alarm the errands incomplete

the two in the morning

and the five before sleep

this young adult medication complexion

only the evening rescues itself,

the mirror

the hand drum

frozen center
