I Am Suffocated By Hopelessness
Lightning leaps across the ashen sky
Only at these moments
Is the true scale of my task illuminated
A solid sheer fortress mountain range stretches unbroken
from the horizon of doom
across the valley of murdered hopes and entombed dreams
to the other horizon
of doom
Horrified, my will evaporates into wisps of weakness
My knees buckle
My torso topples
Heaving for oxygen, my lungs expand and contract in desperate oscillation
Yet they take in only the caustic and bitter dust of futility
Lao Tzu, a lousy angst poet whose feelings were neither deep nor important, once said "a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step"
Well then, smartass, step right up and remodel my fucking master bathroom
