They say it gets better
but they never tell you when.

Isn't a breakup, after all, the surgical excision
of another whole person from your own?

Which day shall be the worst?
What can I eat?
How do I get to sleep?
Why is there so much vertigo?

I've lost my captain. I've lost my compass.

But forget North-

*what way is even up?
