mmmmdccxciii

Today

things are ugly. I’m ugly.
It happens. And so I stall.
It’s 5:08pm on a Sunday
and I have a very large

amount of work to do,
things I want to have
accomplished by the time
I head to bed tonight, or

whenever it is that I man
age to get into bed, but
I’m still in bed. Have
yet to shower. And under

this exterior, I’m scared.
There are so many vari
ables that I can’t end this
quite yet, and I normally

would have by now. This 
has been happening quite 
a bit of late. And so I get up, 
at least, even if ten hours

or so later than I originally
expected I would, to shower.
