darling, i'm
digging eggshells out
of my soles

with a knife
(it's not as sharp)

and shopping for hobnailed boots

No thank you,

I don't have time for an existential crisis
today. I recommend trying
tomorrow, perhaps

I may be more amenable, less
upright, more lonely,
less alive,

whatever you find convenient, I am
sure you will have it some
day, but for

now, goodbye.

feeling broken is
looking at everything

you wish you could want
to do and realizing

you are not good
enough
