the end(?)

the world is moving too fast
and the ant
being swallowed whole
with the frozen doughnut
elicits nothing
but
apathy.

(really?)

keeping my fingers crossed,
clutching my breast,
humming myself to sleep

(turning a deaf ear)

if only it were as easy
(to switch you off)

if only it were as easy
to
really
be
(me)
.
