Unpleasant Things
a Poem

When you’re waiting for a text
When you’re already on the verge of having spent your entire paycheck
When your phone auto-connects to a shitty wifi network
Being told what you already know
Waiting for a check to clear
Not being good at what you want to be good at
When your actions don’t match your values
When you’re not sure what you’re waiting for
When you can’t feel your connection to other people
All of it
And the sound of the wind blowing the leaves
like footsteps behind you
