I am asked countless times a day
"how are you doing?"
What a question,
and to answer,
is a lifetime
of culminated discovery.
Today, while bedridden
and burnt out by all of this,
a friend texted me
"how are you doing?"
All the discoveries
swirled in my head.
I feel like a sick seagull
stuffing itself at an In-and-Out,
but I lied and simply said:
"Better."
