BUT DON'T GIVE YOURSELF AWAY




today is the day
i give up. i don't
expect to be
fully happy
ever again. a year ago

i would have stuck
my arm in the sideways blink
of the elevator doors expecting
some form of human
or mechanical pity.

today is the day i started to think
those doors are probably gonna close 
on me.
