There is nothing to fear but laziness

I am better than this,
this collection of things.
bitter tears,
bath soap,
collection notices,
rotten fruit,
loan papers,
settled dust,
old razors,
dried flowers,
tape residue,
torn resumes,
old receipts,
over due movies,
tarnished paperclips,
empty match books,
leaky trash bags,
empty wrappers,
pill bottles,
warm beer bottles,

all of it is just what you see when you look around me.
but if you let your eyes soften, let them wander over to me,
you will see I am more than this. More than objects and assumption.
more than sorrow and loose tongue.

potential, oh how it radiates from me.
- in. thick. stinging. waves.
