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
