I checked the website -
Two days 'til delivery,
Free shipping and all that.
I asked for ,
But I couldn't afford it,
Now isn't that sad?
I can wait two days,
It's not that long to wait;
I'm lost in my head anyway.
I'll stay here,
Numb, in thought,
Waiting silently.
And when it comes,
I guess I'll be content -
It came.
I know
That I'm not happy at all,
But I'm not at all sad.
Because there's happy things:
Civil rights, democracy,
Free shipping and all that.

Short but nonetheless impactful
One out-a-three ain't bad'!
Love this brevity.
Strangely, it's one of my favourite things that I've written.
This is so Impactful
