If I'm Not Putting Something Together I'm Falling Apart

In Virtue's lap
Above Infinity's gaping maw

(Files with write permissions but not read.
A trap door you can't come back from.

Why won't temperatures drop
Without a battle?
My knuckles hurt
Watching the neighbor drop her keys.

I saw your
wheels turning,
My airbag deploying.)

I expect too much
Is what my therapist said.
It was sweet autumn clematis
Gripping the fence rail.
