falling behind faster and faster

things

are overdue,

the dentist

appointment

for the six-month cleaning,

bills

lie on the desk

with interest

building.

i haven't changed the air

filter

in the furnace

for months.

the oil in the car

needs to be changed,

the tires

inflated,

an inspection

needs to take place,

the sticker updated

food has

expired

in the fridge.

cans

on the shelf are ready

to explode.

when was the last time

i called you?

i can't remember,

i'm way behind on everything.
