LOU RASMUS

I’m sitting
on the couch,
watching the same
TV show that I
watched yesterday,
and thinking about
what exactly I’m
doing with myself.
Binge watching shit?
It’s not even
good shit.
But everyone else
is watching it,
and sometimes it
feels weird
to not do
what everyone else
is doing,
so I keep watching.
It’s better than
doing something
that will
actually count
for anything.
It’s better than
trying to do
something and
failing and
being
disappointed
with myself.
Then a commercial
comes on
and I know
every word.
At least I can
take pride
in that.
