Losers


we lose jobs
we can't sleep
the moon expands and contracts
like a baseball hit by a bat
flying into the stands
then played in reverse
hurtling back toward the plate
medications quell mental storms
and produce new symptoms
weed is smoked or chewed
we feel anxious
a night caterpillar crawls on a branch
we see it beneath a flood light
calmly eating a leaf
water in the potholes
vaguely reflecting stars
