Look at you

Look at you.
Walking around
like you own the place.
Like you're owed something.
Like the universe should somehow
bend to your will.
Make you happy.
Make you succesful.
Like you're not just one
of billions of meat sacks
scrounging through the muck.
On this vanishing speck,
with death at every corner.
Blessed with a moment
of consciousness
just to squander it
paying of a mortgage
and getting drunk every weekend.
Putting your cans in the recycling.
Like you care.
Sharing your cousin's food pics.
Like you care.
Blanking your mother's calls
and wondering why your kids never visit.
The hell is your plan
when time is called
and it turns out it wasn't all for nothing?
When it turns out that
this sprawling, magnificent,
confusing, beatiful world.
Was a place to live.
Not exist and check out.
You gonna ask for a refund?
Injury time? Best of three?
You dope.
