The people I envy most are those
with an internal alarm
that wakes them up at whatever time
they tell themselves
before going to bed.
I'm that sap who comes to
sweating in his sheets
an hour before the dreaded beep
only to dabble in sick lucid dreaming
until waking up with ancient names
plastered in his mouth
and his index fingers rigid
in the form of a last-ditch cross.
In other strange news
I discovered this week
that my left foot's
one whole size bigger.
We're coming apart at the seams, America
like bargain bin clothes in the drier.
