Stimulants and depressants.

Its a familiar cycle,
day starts not being able to get out of bed,
ends not being able to get to sleep,
is swallowed at its zenith by a million inconsequential details,
dissected digested and stripped of every useful aspect,
life slowly reduced to numbers,
dots and dashes,
ones and zeros,
tallying human existence,
slaves to the almighty bottom line.

Caffeine for breakfast,
cholesterol for lunch,
Cuervo for dinner,
economized self destruction.
