another night of nothing

the TV is giving me a headache

the fans are blowing
in fact the fans aren’t just blowing
they’re blowing up
minutia is flying everywhere

I hate every second of this

I begin to understand
nothing is an illusion
there is always something

something
is
happening
to me
tonight
though it feels like nothing

and it’s killing me
