how many beats per minute
does it take to turn off
the white noise
of my thoughts racing
on logs down the cliff
how many stopovers
do i need to make it through
the next 2 months of winter
without feeling the heat of the sun
through the automatic blinds
of a building designed
to extinguish all fire in my heart
that could remind me
of my actual desires
how many percentages
would i need added to my salary
in order to feel content
with giving away all of my time
in exchange for higher taxes
and my brain drifting into
which pension fund to choose
and should i join a union
for the highest tax cut
i wish i thought about blood
whenever donating is mentioned
how many dishes
should i be able to powerwash
in order for my brain
to feel like my time
is spent wisely
water is not wasted
food is not thrown away
my life is meaningful
and my landlord would fix
the broken dishwasher
how many minutes of doom
could i save without scrolling
by creating instead of consuming
unable to sit still in the discomfort
of an overstimulated mind
that needs to triple check
my bank account balance
precipitation for the next hour
and whether an invite to a meeting
i don't want to go to
has not landed in my inbox
