Being in the world

Too much noise, too much light, or heat, or cold. Too
much salt, so the body brims over. It's 7 AM and night 
has not delivered its promised ledge. Every random 
picture on a floating screen is barbed; every close-
by presence, fading in and out. 

Some clear blue would be
a catharsis; some knowledge
that there's an end to suffering.
