Inertia

Digs its fingers into me

And leans down with full force.

My friends text me.

Come out and play, they say.

Ehh.

Don says, look at how lazy you are. Do some work.

Ehh.

Something is going to have to exert some serious pressure

To get me to move.

But what could be stronger

Than this heavy inertia?

Gravity has maxed out

Right on my lap.
