Leave the house
Join a parade
Stay home
Find something
On your home computer
You never should have seen
Get an oil change
For your car
And an hour later
You have two flat tires
Virgo
Taurus
Capricorn
Watch the news
Trigger your depression
Or anxiety
Or both
Turn off the news
And hear a sound
You can’t quite place
But can’t unhear
Go back to bed
And there’s a drip
From the ceiling
That lands an inch
From your right eye
Virgo, but you’re exhausted
Taurus, but you’re stubborn
Capricorn, but you’re high-risk
Take a bath
But no book to read
Read a book
But can’t relax
Light a candle
Set a fire
Put it out
Cry on the dirty floor
Of an old man’s kitchen
How’d you get here?
When did you arrive?
Who lives here now?
Virgo, you’re uneasy
Virgo, you’re uneasy
Taurus, you’re determined
Capricorn, what’s next?
Make a meal
Lose your appetite
Decide to fast
Food falls
Right in front of you
Clear the table
See your reflection
In the silverware
The black and white
Moves you
But it’s all red and grey
Dedicate yourself
To a brand new life
And see a setback
You’ve met before
Waiting for you
In the two, two, two
Mile sign
Down the road
Grovel for a better chance
Find that mercy
Is in short supply
Fall in love
And find out
That you’re capable
Of everything
But connection
Learn to live alone
And ask yourself
If that’s what you’ve been doing
All along
Virgo, spoil yourself
Taurus, touch or tremble
Capricorn, modify expectations
A vote of confidence
An echo of surprise
A daunting dawn
To a day
That may not end up
Being
All that bad
Virgo, go back to bed
Taurus, go to sleep
Capricorn, you’ll like it
Pull up the covers
You still feel cold
Stick out your toes
Don’t be afraid
Take a deep breath
It won’t last long
You’ll like it
When you realize
That no matter what
The sound you hear
Is getting softer
And closer
At the very same time
