Cortisol

This isn't a discursive story
although I am often incapable of any other
like taking a chisel to pigs on an assembly line.

I applied to a good gig in Brooklyn,
and I hope I get it,
just to go back in time.

Maybe, I will be back sooner
than I thought,
possibly October, definitely November.

And as I grind,
which I hate to say,
it stresses me to think about 27th street.
