DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE

4 walls glued to my skin

Bonded deeper than the soil,

Carpet between toes feel like needles,

The smell of the stale coffee on repeat .

Birds of yesterday found other places to sing,


Leaving nothing but dust on the window seal.

I watch as the mailman

Delivers his mail to the people that reside around me

As if these 4 walls are invisible

The kitchen chair stares back at me,

Out of place and laying hopeless in its despair


The stale coffee mocks me as i discard it,

Placing the pot along with its dirty friends

That accompanies the sink.


My feet know the way back to my spot.

The pillow greets my head once more,

And my eyes shut, resuming my new reality.

Words form inside of my eye lids

Don't get out much anymore.
