slept
the broken sleep
of the damned

only to not
charge my phone
and have no alarm
the alarm
being my head
screaming
why are you bothering

now i sit
with no time for coffee
head in a jumble
trying to figure out
how to quell
anxiety
that today
everything will go
wrong

yet the words
won’t stop
the need
won’t stop
the traffic
won’t move

and the fool
still
blathers on
