What’s keeping me alive? -
Claustrophobic clock face
Giving me the
Once-over
(My minutes are measured monetarily)
There’s
Only so much time
To make
Only so much money
These are the things they forget to tell you about in honors courses. How to measure your worth in moments. How to suck in your gut and part your hair as it’s thinning. How to keep your dreams breathing without suffocating yourself. How to forget about today. How you cannot put seconds away in bank accounts or your memories in cash deposit boxes. How we’re all working ourselves into graves we’re all struggling to afford. How much it really means to keep your head up, no matter how high the water.
