spiel

exhaustion overcomes
from swiping to and fro
reading little spiels
of what you "ought to know"
pictures of people petting tigers
and bathroom shirtless selfies
the brain ceases function
grey matter screaming "HELP ME"
and worse than this; the knowing
that you yourself no better
parsing all your profile
down to every single letter
perhaps the days in bars
drinking with blurry strangers
weren't all that bad
despite obvious danger
of ending up no more
than a head in someone's freezer
because you trusted wrongly,
you stupid people-pleaser
