Who has time to waste?
except on Sundays
when I feel like getting wasted
to fill the emptiness
I could almost
write a whole book
on restlessness
if I could settle
in my chair
without scrolling, endless
toxic products
a lifecycle to landfill
existential despair
put everything in boxes
and let the mould grow
your children
won’t be interested
in dusty receipts that show
how much you spent
on name-brand trousers
in the 90s
but
I’ll know
