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
