i am making you see this okay okay okay
By Brandon Scott Gorrell
yesterday i don't remember
you came over and we sat in the kitchen
you said a lot of things
i acted excited
you left
i bought an organic juiced drink
when i got home i sat in a chair
feels like nothing is really happening right now
i said i don't want to go to the party
we were in the kitchen
i was bored
you said are you sure you don't want to come
you left
i was in my bed holding socks
i had a shirt on
it was morning
i thought it would be night later
i spend a lot of time in my bedroom
it's better
my legs are functional
today i sat on my bed and looked at myself in a mirror
yesterday i showered
i'm sitting in a chair
i ate a smoothie this morning
my roommate took adderall
he said he felt depressed
he gave me two adderall
i called my mom
i do the same things regardless of how i feel
kind of
i'm going to sleep now
on my way home there was a group of raccoons
i tried to be interested
i couldn't see them after awhile
i walked home
you said do you want to watch naked lunch tonight
i said yes
we were outside in a dusk
a mild one
the thought comforts me
you said do you want to walk with me to my car to get naked lunch
i said where is your car
you said at the park
i said that's too far
i said we should just watch the movie another night
you left
i want to be a starfish
this poem is called apathy
this is pointless
i feel small
i felt excited
and quickly felt neutral
and thought that i feel neutral
i felt excited
i felt neutral
i felt excited and walked somewhere
