Never puttin it all out there

10:15 AM
The ax falls
The commercial phone cord entwines my fingers
hair on my neck stands up
pulled toward the outside, freedom

Jumping jacks
face the facts
fat forever, thin within
This isn't the life I was supposed to be in

4:30 PM
An error occurs
Keyboard strokes click pain to my eardrum
Start over and hope for better results
Press save twice, three times

Jumping jacks
face the facts
fat forever, thin within
This isn't the life I was supposed to be in

9:20 AM
Couched meaning
A stack of papers and impending papercuts
Highlighting details, my favorite word
Again and Again and Again

Jumping jacks
face the facts
fat forever, thin within
This isn't the life I was supposed to be in

7:40 PM
Sneaky search
Best foot forward on a slow laptop
Maybe someday...
That's all I can say

Jumping jacks
face the facts
fat forever, thin within
This isn't the life I was supposed to be in
