a short walk took it out of me.
i barely made it back
to the console,

jacked into the world wide web,
booted up
my augmentation method.

it’s Tony
with the anxiety,
minus the suit.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds,
“Bright Horses” live,
falsetto stirring,
free to escort me
however,
again.

i haven’t worshiped
in a bit.

upstairs says no,
upstairs says go,
upstairs echoes.

offbeat,
offset,
off-kilter,
off-axis,
then wobble.

just waiting
for the skip again.

Radiohead clapping
through “We Suck Young Blood,”

i’m copiloting
from a reclined position,
unfit to move,
still traversing.
