I want it all
the hardest part is
calming yourself
after knifing in anxiety
with a bayonet

it should be enough now
the night was cold
you squeezed your body
into liminal spaces

painted letters on the board
wore dusty to get umami
by the store.
you're mad for a reason.

some days you were tired
from overwork. from books.
from people. you're good at this one thing

and you wish above all else
that it would be you in the end
winning with a smile as wide as
your name.
