Every breath that I exhale is a sigh —
Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion
How sad — this is what your life has been reduced to — a single room apartment
containing no more than a mattress
How sad when the strings have been removed from the blinds and all the outlets
have been painted over
And the television screen is streaked with blood smeared from your knuckles as you were trying to punch it out but you underestimated its strength,
or maybe you just weren’t trying hard enough
Startled by a knock at the door you rise for the first time in two days to answer, but you can only greet the visitor with one short statement
Hello my first name is Distance and I really don’t care if I never wake up again
Hello my name is Distance and I really don’t care if I never wake up again
Hello
I really don’t care if I never wake up again
I really don’t care if I never wake up again
