He rolls back and forth
His body always aches
When he truly wakes
He untangles the sheets
he stumbles out of bed
stubbing his toe
His hair is short,
it wont listen
but only
because he needs it to.
He climbs into his car
slamming the door
She is gray, her paint peeling
so much push and pull
She never starts right away
Only because
He needs her to
The traffic is endless
Roofs shimmer in the
hot sun
for miles and miles
He is hungry
A drive thru
His order is wrong
He said no tomatoes
The cold egg sandwich
Is shoved down
He bites his tongue
The cool blood trickling
His day will not go well
but only
because he needs it to
