Wake up
do nothing
particular
for a while
unless you're called to kiss the porcelain
Expel
venenum
ingested
all last night
unless you'd rather keep the mess inside

I understand how that goes
I understand, I mostly do

Dine on
apathy
until each
breath you take
results only in your anxious trembles
Recede
from others
around you
so displeased
with their inscience, knowing it's a half truth

I understand how that goes
I understand you, I mostly do

Ignorance sure
ly sparks the recluse
but in cyclic
al humility
it comes to light
The lust for ears who hear you
and truly listen

I understand how that goes,
a little less than always
I understand you,
completely, too
