In between

I've seen better days
days when I've stayed
in just one emotion
and wanted just one need

These days
I swing from a rope
that has one end tied
to the beam of my
bedroom ceiling
and the other
tightly wrapped
around my neck.

It's going to be
another cold
from a virus that
has mutated.
Another burnt
steak from another
restaurant
that seems to be
more pathetic
than the last.

I'm in between days
and in between hard things.
