The inactivity in the physical realm
when I do not exercise
or am awake long or
sleeping short enough,
the back-and-forth messages
I receive from the most beautiful woman
with blue jeans on with my
hand on my member,
gunshots a few blocks away
and a car on fire
in the church lot next door,
and sometimes,
a job interview the next day.
Seems counterproductive
on my body’s part.
Usually, though
I sleep well
despite these annoyances
or get by on a solid
5 hours in my
2 month-old sheets.
