Isn’t much of an argument

the pursuit

that state of mind,

the punch in the gut

mindset that screams

says everything is wrong

because we want all right,

don’t want to think about it,

just let it be.

Standing at the counter,

the person in front of me,

struggling for their change,

oh come on now,

it’s 2023

why do I have to wait,

haven’t you figured it out,

we shouldn’t have to wait,

nearly as much anymore,

everything is different

everyone has decided,

it’s all about me now,

I’m seeking perfection.
