I reached into my pocket hoping to find my cellphone
So I can check the time for no reason
Because wearing a wrist watch seems pointless
I find my attention folded up on a 26 line wide rule piece of paper
“Pay rent, buy food, don’t die”
The 26 line wide rule paper is still white with blue lines
I just bought a new package for 98 cents
“Pay rent, buy food, don’t die”
Seems simple enough; like breathing
Except I realize that isn’t living
That isn’t enough
It is isn’t enough to have a roof when you feel like a stranger in your own home
It isn’t enough to be fed when all you eat are your own words
It isn’t enough to simply not die
I realize the list would have to extend for miles
Reach the horizon and then around the moon
But seeing as I haven’t touched the sky yet
Or danced with the moon
“Pay rent, buy food, don’t die”
Will have to do for now
