Quiet Living

I don't want to change the world
I just want to live and live quietly.

I don't have the fight in me, where
you have energy—I move tiredly.

In the bed, and dead, listening
to Morning Edition. I woke up

with a headache. The bed quaked,
and every neuroscience experiment

that includes a white sphere full of
Wonder Bread stars, is my lament.
