365 Days of hot baths every morning and a weekly shower
That is a Year of waking up too tired to stand.
365 Days of four cups of coffee every morning
and two in the evening.
That is a Year of caffeinated stimulation,
or 2,190 doses.
365 Days of chain smoking every day
at least one pack of cigarettes.
That is a Year of 7,300 cigarettes,
or 80,300 minutes shaved off life.
365 Days of smoking an ounce of
weed every week.
That is a Year of mystification, and much junk food,
but very little progress.
365 Days of masturbating anywhere
between two to three times.
That is a Year of many pleasurable sensations,
but, again, very little progress.
365 Days of staring at the TV
and thinking I’m learning something.
That is a Year of dust gathering on my bookshelf,
and likely some regression.
365 Days of working forty hour weeks,
hating it, and myself.
That is a Year of running on a hamster wheel
in more ways than one.
365 Days of staring at that dark ring
in the toilet bowl.
That is a Year of wallowing in my own filth
and blaming it on depression.
