Vigil

An insipid pop song stuck in your head
You just burned your tongue
Someone thinks you’re racist on social media
You step on something sharp on the floor
in your bare feet
You’re not wearing your contacts
Green-blue glow of a night-light
Did you take your pills?
You should always take your pills
Nothing’s on TV
You don’t want to read a book
Close your eyes
when the golden sun peeks over the horizon
