I've been sleeping on the couch
for about a day and a half now,
and on TV, I hear someone say,

Speed is a luxury that everyone
should be able to afford, it's
a commercial, they're selling cars,

I can't read the crossword puzzle,
my body feels like I've been taking
all of my air through a plastic straw,

and if I lose even the slightest focus,
my surface tension will peak, I'll just
burst open like a soap bubble, and

In Family Circus, Jeffy says his uncle
was addicted to Thanksgiving leftovers
but quit cold turkey, then afterward

I'm watching these two Heroes episodes,
now it's the second of the two, this
eclipse that robs them of their powers,

so they have to learn to be Heroes
without them, and I know that's bullshit too,
because no eclipse can last that long.
