"please consume by sell-by date"

I've never been not here, I've never been
nothing.

Every second always scrambling
to find or

become something

but I can't concentrate long enough
to summon a feeling
that could pass as even a synonym
for consistency, meaning

I can handle a version of domestic
that is more like
its exact opposite

but feels like enough
of an effort on my part
to still pass for it.

If we apologize for this, we both know
we're really apologizing for ourselves.

You said
"Take as much time and space
as you need"

so there's no real expiration date
but
name one thing in life that isn't
time sensitive.
