You probably can't trust that you're
fully awake yet, when—alone in this
packed city rumbling, all the pinstriped
and pastel parcels containing
cake donuts—and the steaming rain-
spattered lids on white take-it-
to-go coffee cups
streaming past you in the hands its
carefully waterproofed commuters—
only make comfort
to you feel so frivolous, so
momentary—so fake.
