7/06/2024 clammy hands

My hands clam up when I see a clock

Standing there, you exist far more than any person should

For all that’s happened, I still can’t remember

why you’re here

Every day I fend off control

If you turn your headlights on now, I’m sure someone will die

My sternum threatens to pierce my innards

I do feel ashamed when I see the collapsed chests walking around me

I’m so worried I may have to someday live I might vomit

I step outside. The sun feels like vinegar

Flies land delicately on my fingertips. I know there was never a point
