At the crossroads of despair
And acceptance,
I met my old friend,
Exhaustion.
As always,
they said hello
With a clap of the shoulder
Affectionately kissed me on the forehead.
It’s been a while, they said.
How have you been? Did you miss me?
I mumbled back the necessary pleasantries,
Kept my eyes down,
Tried to tiptoe
Around the corner.
But as soon as I did, I saw a line of
Ants scurrying
On the sidewalk,
And I was forced to
Stop.
I looked around for assistance,
But only
Exhaustion
Stared back at me.
Let’s catch up, they said.
And down the wide open streets, they went
Dragging me along
The column of
Bodies.
