My 19,471st Day

My internet map app
has led me down a questionable path,
possibly to my death.

Instead, a trendy taco shed
where I get grasshopper legs
stuck in my teeth.

On the screen, a soccer match ends
nil-nil, all that running
for naught.

Funny how quickly
ice cream melts. Only a moment ago
you were a child,

dinosaurs roamed
the Colorado beaches.
There was less snow.

On the couch, forty-five
of my twenty-eight million minutes
simply dwindle away.
