self absorbed

i spend most of my day
sitting in a chair
cogitating deeply
on the most complex
philosophical questions
of our time:
why do i drink so much?
why am i rarely happy (poor baby)?
why do i even have expectations
of being happy?
is it 5 o’clock yet?
what is wrong with me?
when will a Cleveland team
ever win a championship?
can i still pray if i’m an atheist? – it feels good sometimes
will i be strong when i am old?
what am i doing writing poems all the time?

am I alive?
Is this a poem?
why do i drink so much?
