we are all just
barely washed hair
and anxiety.
lost socks
and garbage-filled
closets.
pills and
plastic.
pimples and
pot holes.
spider webs
of self-loathing
and
piss stains.
procrastination
and prayers.
stop lights and
sirens.
smoke and
sludge.
beautiful
black eyes
and broken eggs.
Just one bad cup of coffee
away from a shoot-out.
