Fallen Shoulders

Relax, they will say
Roll out your back
Let your shoulders drop
Back and down, they instruct
Like this, they mock
Look at their cracks
Breathe in their lunch
Release a yawn at seventy decibels
Walk out slouched
Fall on the front step
Clutch your chest
Then explain you're joking
For what reason, they will ask
Why would you do that, they will scold
Get the fuck out of here, they will demand
Never knowing the pleasure found
Deep in the center
Of completely giving up
