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
