Before You Open Your Eyes

Some days become too practical.
You sink into the quicksand of old quarries.
Tasks that you just have to do.
You can’t argue with them any more, they have no ears to hear your reasoning.
They aren’t too heavy for you, just extremely awkwardly shaped.
Take a flat breath and blink for several seconds longer than usual.
Move your muscles before you open your eyes.
Some things aren’t really worth looking at.
