be a proper human, i make
little notes on how
to conduct myself, scratch out
wins, circle losses with a
bruised marker, i catch
myself staring at myself,
there’s no turning back

perhaps months,
perhaps months,
years from now, these
days will become
foggy, it’s how our
minds insist on
playing games with
our hearts – now you see

to make out every
fine detail in the
heightened haze

in their mouths
many times before
spitting them out.

by any muscles
so the human spirit
keeps taking the bait
