in the bitter cold
resides the enemy of
batteries grown old.

patents issued for
corporate tax-avoidance

I try to grab it,
thinking i need it badly

unruly creatures.

oh, the decisions;
life can be so full of them.
what do I do now?

the faucet won’t stop;
my mind’s forever dripping
with incomplete thoughts.
