the universe
seeks balance
little things
like two books
releasing at
number one while
you haven’t eaten
in a week or so
to make sure you
stay hmuble

there is no reward
just a six foot hole
and if you’re lucky
they spell your name
correctly before
the constant wind
erodes the granite
into a blank marker

all you’re expected
to do is suffer and
fortunately there is
no shortage on that
