Wasting time is not hard work, but it is draining.
Very much so.

Days, then months and years
swim past headaches and itchy eyeballs,
past back pain and so much shame.
Shoot, it's almost the end of this decade
that began with a meltdown and a TED talk,
held promise, fell apart, and that you hope to end

on top of a mountain,
Your head in the clouds.

Regret, a rage for order,
and yes- very important indeed-

you must teach yourself the value of

SILENCE.
