Fridge light phylosophie

Midnight fridge
The light came on
Stood there.
Just stood there.
Thought about everything
I'd done wrong
Since roughly
...2009.
Cold pizza
Never lied to me
Unlike some people.

Opened it again
opened it again
Same stuff
Same questions
Different angle.

The thing about three AM is
nobody's performing.
No audience.
Just you and
whatever's in the fridge
and the question of whether
any of it

matters.

And then you find
half a block of cheese
you forgot you bought
and somehow
somehow
that answers it.
