Energy

Energy. Twirling around, lying down. But your eyes are going out of focus. You make a blurry wish. You wish not to fall through the couch. Focus, and you’ll be able to sit upright for a minute. Then sinking, and shrinking will occur with use. You haven’t had coffee in two days. But you’re more coffee than ever. Empty cups and turning them over to wash and dry. All day, the conveyor belt rolls toward you. You need to wash huge pots and pans. The conveyor belt continues. Cereal and milk, pouring, pouring, pouring all day. You haven’t gone to the coffeeshop in a week. Or anywhere. Just listening to clicking, and shaking sounds. Trying to listen. Energy. But without caffeine. Is like roller skates within you. Nothing gets done until nighttime. Make cookies at 3:00 am. Come to life. Dancing cookies. Coffee. You still never mailed that electric bill out. Power down. Lights out. But still- Energy.
