Hot and Sad

Hot and Sad

 

flavors combined

in one mind 

hot and sad

that’s fine

 

don’t take my tea 

with sugar 

don’t eat more 

than two donuts 

 

"that’s enough" 

the stomach growls 

 

sensitivities of life 

cut like a knife 

that’s what I like 

the rest is too dull  

 

going through our heads 

the time to respect

all that development 

that goes unacknowledged 

 

contemplating

the mysteries of life 

our career suicides

they all had a purpose

 

making us 

hot and sad 

we’re looking good 

feeling awful
