Jocinda Smith from Two by Backyard Baseball

A late night riser
swaddled in unwashed sheets
only inspired
when calamity disturbs the dream

Unshaken make belief
that this spell can be sustained
in casual digressions, residential depression
a weaponized invisibility

But there’s still
still a long
a long way
way to go

Thumbtacks in the ceiling cracks
cold sweat is dripping down my spine
Fresh hell by the wishing well
I'm breaking kneecaps just to cut in line

"Well good grief it’s a god damn relief
I didn’t even really want to try”
A bad defense for ambivalence
don’t know the difference between dead and dying

But there’s still
still a long
a long way
way to go
