Hope Less

One day I'll wake up
And stumble to the bathroom
And turn the light on
And be greeted with gray roots
And lines that slowly bursted to the surface
Like weeds in the spring

And joy will not have come to this tiny house
In a long, long time
The red alerts pile up on the dining room table
Collecting cobwebs as an ominous breeze rolls on by

Then I'll make my empty bed
Without a spare warm body
And I wonder: will it always be this way?
Slaving away with no release
I could step outside to say hi to the never-ending smog
And take a naked run through the daily acid rain

I can dream for a better world
But I've learned to keep my dreams low
For they'll always spiral to another place
So for now, I'll just hope less
