Winding up bed covers stained with piss five grumbling stomachs the last aspirin consumed in the morning through mounds of reeking garments when to repair a broken faucet clogged toilette settle last month’s water bill clean with left-over bleach and soap just pour hot water or better yet just get last night’s fried fish and brown bahaw and catch the whiff of bacon and eggs from the neighbor’s adjacent window looking out to trodden pathways where hawkers lurk to strike a deal for the latest fabricated pair of Chucks nuts balls cigarettes mugged leather bags menthol candy and stealthy exchanges for cheap drugsdrugsdrugsdrugsdrugsdrugs along the crooked asphalt reach the junction and pass partial pipe-laying drills drill drilling drills drill drilling drills drill drilling stony earth liberating dust soaring debris caught in the eye tearing up silent sighs further upsetting the previously peace-less mind attached to a body racing in god-forsaken trains blasted buses scheming taxis hasty jeeps slapdashing private vehicles urging invariable departure and arrival to monetary tardiness and compulsory labor of the auto-pilot in you in you in you until the next dark coffee and round of stale cigarettes is consumed humbly getting by with convenience store heists the lottery and highly intellectual noontime shows for lunch
