Another Ordinary Day

here i go again
tasting water in a dirty swamp
i am a hotel for mosquitoes 
they love room O Negative
my daze is their morning sunrise

here i go again
sucking on discarded chicken bones from a dumpster reeking of feces
i am a truck stop for alley rats
they love the taste and the flavor of vulnerable on my flesh
my daze is their midnight moonrise

here i go again
licking the what the ants left off of a sticky creamsicle
i am a solid foundation for an anthill for said ants
they love the easy stick potential of every one of my veins
my daze is their everyday routine
