Again

When we get older,

We have more complications in our lives

That brings more stress.

We seek to relieve that stress

With distractions.

Numbness of the mind.

Once our senses are sufficiently dulled,

We believe that we’ve beaten

Our stress

But we’ve merely buried it.

Erosion will expose it again.

And again.

Necromancy will reanimate

The corpse of our stress.

And then what will we do?
