Staples at 9:36am The markers are more expensive than I recall I finally got what I needed I’d been meaning to get it for weeks Got what I needed I’d Been waiting for a month Exhaling The absurdity is what struck me Then the florescent hum Shown off like a set of gel pens in 3rd grade Passed around for the day Novelty wore off by recess Not to mistake obliviousness for malice But what the hell was that Unholy matrimony Something closer to purgatory I’m not a mind reader Dial tone, busy signal You have a phonebook So tell me Bewitched by mind and body But the soul part was forgotten Along the way White lie People pleasing tendencies I won’t apologize for this It’s not my mess to fix
