POST-MORTEM

the distended day
swaddled in business casual small talk

rhythmically stylized key strokes
peppered with off-coloured jokes

long-walk stretches to alleviate continuous compression 
of a catatonic forth floor view

---------

any semblance of a creative life requires a professional contortionist, 
or the possibility of becoming an addict

---------

maybe it's an aversion to stability
maybe things are still opening
maybe neutral connections
are eroding my resiliency


if you catch me and i'm tired enough
you'll get what you want
