Tunnel Runner

He asked about my project
If I was still doing it
A project like this just finds steam
And pockets it for later
Builds off collected lint
And rubble
Much like an acting career
You settle in
Except my face is dizzying
Like an old television picture going bad
Fixed by turning it on and off again
Or left not fixed
Just slightly less agreeable
Like shoes worn down
In the places you made
Unknowingly
And with good reason
If you only knew
You might change
Adjust
Marry a nurse or doctor
