watched it sink to the bottom
had to fish it out with my fingers
and instantly, without thought
toss it into my mouth.

progressively getting more and more
busy
or trying to pretend i am.
i might go back to school,
it gives me something to do when i'm bored.

giving a fine demonstration
of mediocre skills.
what will you do
when your favorite thing is no more,
all your thoughts are broken
and you lie sitting on the floor?
