move.

watch the water.
watch it move.
stop the whirlpool
with your pinky
toe.
down the drain.
just like you.
a signal goes off
deep in the pit
of your brain.
move.
get up.
move.
motivation is failing.
fleeting.
gone.
no desire to leave
the porcelain grave
you have dug for
yourself.
only desire is more
and more
and more
water.
long to stop
the whirlpool.
to feel in control of
something.
a sound like creaking
breaks through.
cogs turn
and twist
and fall back into step.
the machine wakes up.
reality says hello.
you are twenty something.
you have a dead end job.
you are alone.
you are naked.
it's time.
move.
