The Latency

shut the
fuck
up

what I’ve mostly got
is the cat
staring at me

country music
and cans of beer

it’s three a.m.

what’d
I miss

makes things cooler
for a bit
until it comes up

rising

and rewarms
the world again

you know
this

you don’t need
me to
tell you it’s
going to happen

it will

go outside
and see
it

the rest
is dust
