the 10,000 things blues
u know you’re in trouble when the 10,000 things
no longer distract u mind u in covid-surreality
there are only 3 or 4 things
grocery store
drug store
sometimes a patio filled with performative hipsters
long q-tips into soulholes
reptilian brains in overdrive mass death tends to enhance
anxiety in bipeds with big heads u naked apes who know
uncertainty so well
u practice from the moment of exploding embryonic-fluids
u arrive in a strangeland where the only constant is change
(+morph-fuckery)
cocoons are for bellyslitherers+pantsshitters but not u
u who will yourself to courage rise above the 10,000 fears
being afraid is the healthiest catalyst to THE BIG MORPH
the one where u get handfuls of MORE so be afraid +do it
anyway that thing the nightweasels (the cowardly fucks)
are trying to prevent
they who thrive on shit scared tonight sucker punch the beasts
+watch your lined face transform into the new-form waiting to
launch u
huddle in fear behind the couch or collaborate with Mrs. Reaper
before your crêpey arms grow a few more skin tags
