i’m in bed. i’m up. i’m down. walking. they took 5 vials of my blood, i hope it was what they were looking for. i took thousands of dollars out in loans, i hope i find what i’m looking for. there are people running down the street with briefcases, i hope they make it, whatever they run for “are you hopeless?” put your stethoscope on my chest and ask me again, doctor. & ask my skeleton what he thinks. because he is a goddamn cynic. & this is all just a goddamn metaphor.
