Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn

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
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
