Ever been too tired to sleep
you just lie on a mound of uneven pillows
with your bra half off
wishing you had some kind of significant other
or at least an ethically sourced servant
that would rub your feet
and maybe make you a plate of nachos
while you stare at the weird patterns
in your ceiling stucco
and formulate thoughts
solely in the broken bits
of a language
you only halfway learned
two years ago
no me either
