more/ less

Control top panty hose

And late night gorges 

Counter intuitive ways to be gorgeous 

Screen fatigue scrolling 

And rewatch binges 

Feeding a bottomless pit of resentment 

Societal catastrophe and 

Mundane individual realities 

Platter serving others receiving nothing 

Argumentative mind 

On a pleasing loop 

Always falling victim to

More 

and 

more 

and 

more 

Discomfort unease 

Decision fatigue

Little reprieve 

I make a to do list

For a sense of accomplishment

Checking off “wake up”

Adding more

Feeling less

But at least I’m productive 

Trying to hold back 

The ceaseless thoughts

Of things I lack 

Less

and

less

and

less
