Persistence

LOOK THERE.  NOTHING HERE.
CABINETS BARE.
BEARLY ATE.
STARE THROUGH SPACE.
CAN'T KEEP PACE.
NEIGHBOR FRIED CHICKEN.

FINGER LICKIN' 
DIRTY FINGERS.
NEED SOAP
CAN'T COPE

NEED SLEEP. NO SHEETS.
CAN'T KEEP.  COUNTING SHEEP.
ONE TWO THREE
MUST GET THERAPY.

AND FIND RESOURCES
BEFORE FROST HITS.

MUST PERSIST
I  EXIST.
