crazy talk from a park bench

a full day
after 2 hours of sleep
makes me feel
like a park bench

heavy and worn
tight across the eyes
and the shoulders
and back
where i bear most
of the weight

tonight
the stomach
bowed and stretched
too many hands
faces discussions
asses just hanging about
lazy legs stretched across me
or no one at all
a lot of nothing
bothering me

the sun sank
it's too cold
too late
and i cannot
remember who said
"sometimes touching another person
is more than i can bear"
i/t, just bench heavy
just bench cold
sometimes even a bench
would like to curl up
under a pink blanket
in a warm bed
