My Recliner

Uncomfortable Satisfaction
Getting what I want
Now what do I do with this
Clever Distraction?

Always an alibi
Avoiding the problem
How many books must I pile up
With no light to read by?

Where has my worth gone
And from whom did the decision come
To send me jumping through hoops
With one leg to stand on?

Maintaining this facade.
A placebo effect for productivity
Prone to the world
Bitter, sore, and odd.
