I'm done in and there's no fun in that
although
laying down flat and hearing the cracks
as my spine adjusts and realigns with my back
is
almost but not quite soothing.

work is tough and it takes tough people
to stick with it and I'm becoming unglued
which probably becomes me as much as
elderflower tea does.

but what happens when we don't happen anymore?
when that door closes is the other one locked?

was searching for a manual
and only found Rodriguez
which was an instruction to
look harder.
