Investigating
Peeling the nail polish off of my nails
Replacing each toilet paper roll
Garbage or flowers or notions of life
Or death, questioning scriptures of droll
Getting a sunburn and sand in the cracks
Washing granules away ‘cause they hurt
Heroes or villains on cardstock with colors
Thoughts drift out, sinking down through the dirt
Every day circles back onto itself
Noticing paths in the pasture or not
Swinging at annoyances, flies, gnats, and notions
Knowing the shower will stop being hot
Barking at doorbells that aren’t actually there
Wondering when they will finally call
Bladder is filling, so it’s time to get going
Staying here leads to piss on it all
