I came home to a dark room

Casually lit to my mind set.

I thought things couldn’t be so bad

So I emptied the trash out

And turned all the lights on

Called my mom, said “I love you”

She responded with her voicemail.

I went outside to my car

The sun fell, the moon raised.

I thought things could be worse off

So I turned my car on

And switched on the car lights

And drove to the liquor store

And when I tried to enter

They said, “Sorry sir, we’re closed now.”

So I drove back to my house

All of the lights were off.

I tripped on the staircase

But made my way up.

I thought maybe things are terrible

I can’t see in the darkness.

Then I got a headache

And I started to think straight.

The pain was so intense.

I threw a Heineken bottle on the ground.

It smashed into tiny little pieces.

I picked them all up from the ground

And turned them into a green mosaic .

Alone, I bursted out in laughter.

It was terribly constructed.

And I thought, ya know, I’m okay with that.

And I thought, ya know, I like that.
