030: human

I tried to write a poem but everything

I said came out clunky and

taut and irrelevant

I tried to run ten miles but I got

lost halfway to the ocean and

found I had no lungs

I tried to fall asleep but when

I dreamed my mind felt heavy

and I got scared and thrashed awake

I tried to brew tea but the cup

grew hot and smashed when the bitterness

seared my tongue

I was so tired of all my nothings

of walking with eyes shut

I didn’t understand the ground’s rigidity

when I stood up and danced
