My life is being reduced to

paychecks,

rent,

22% auto gratuity,

phone calls from Scam Likely,

four identical pairs of washed-out black jeans,

the ounces of whisky it takes to wake up groggy 

or not at all,

the days until I see her again,

the days until I forget her,

the days until I have to take my car into service,

miles,

sheep,
pillows,
body count,
but hers is the only body that counts,
that was cheesy,
$12 truffle Gouda cheese.
