Nothing works
Not forever
Familiarity breeds
contempt for effect
Use leads to used-to
in all senses
and eventually, in all tenses
Find new tools
new rituals
even old habits
(maybe the shine’s worn back)
Some novel thing
might do the trick
if you could just nail it down
like the spikes in the trees
in the hidden places
where you used to hide
Flip
Click
Blink
Flash
Scroll
Keep looking for the next thing
Another book
another channel
It’s got to be out there somewhere
Make it a game
Make it meaningful
Keep running
until you can’t
