by hazel dickey
everyday
i feel badder than bad
im battered by things
i cant do anything about
i feel muted
im ruined
my symphiney is over
i feel unwell
sic like a dog
but dogs it seems
are weller than me
smarter too
they can sit when told
i cant sit down
i dont know how
ive been standing for years
i feel tired
exhausted of jaded things:
punctation
spelling
rhyming
and
life
