MAXIMS I

 

burnout is real    heads melt

research agendas    blow away

like sea foam    everyday tasks

freeze bones    guts are exposed

teeth bite down    on nothing

infantile habits    and fixations

animate ragged bodies    and occupy

raw and stinging    brains

at unspecific intervals    alas

emails land in your box    like grenades

friends are like     what's up?

and you tell them    and then they are like

oh
