Everyday pain

    Waking up from a dream you wish was real
    Eyes open to sunlight laid across your face 
    Nostrils sting with social bile
    Blink like a newborn
    Headache
    Muscle cramp
    Stomach pangs
    Creaking bones
    Feet on the floor
    Face in your hands 
    Tears slipping through your fingers.     

     
     
     
     
     

    24
     
     
     
    Each and Every
     
    In every system
    There’s a pattern
    Each is different 
    Learn them all.
     
    Try to bring 
    Out inner meaning
    Of every picture
    In your brain.
     
    Once it’s welded 
    Electrically altered
    So every sequence
    Feels the same.
     
    That’s when every
    Thing you do
    You ignore like
    You were sleeping.
