STRIVING
it’s just a shape I know
default dizziness
in lieu of blood or guts
or nerves
somewhere in this body
bulky detritus
sleeps and festers
like scattered belongings
the morning after
someone breaks into
your car
the diapers, cough drops
bent bobby pins
blooming in
the mossy driveway
the thief was looking
for something to make
it all worthwhile
maybe a power chord
or something from
the first aid kit
the thief didn't know
why they started
what they started
either
