the kung-fu movies
and the kafka stories
are no longer a large
enough distraction
the hours have
crawled away like
half-smashed spiders
with enough energy
and ingenuity left
to weave webs that
trap the night and
allow it to putrify
into the morning
where at 5am
i find myself
ensnared by a
time clock
promptly pounced on
by a job that feeds on
my youth and sucks the
life right out of me . .
