the finitiude of our days,
while we are no longer
the owners of our hours —
the owner of your body
traced to a lanyard
hung around your neck. the dictation of your actions
recited by someone else
your posture slowly distorted
by the weight of a car
and then a bungalow the largest pill to swallow
‘In your life you only get to do
so many things and right now
we’ve chosen to do this,
so let’s make it great.’
