how do you feel
10 seconds
after recording that tiktok?

when the cameras aren't rolling,
when it's just you,
alone,
surrounded by syrup?

and who cleans all that? is it you?
do you wipe the countertops, scrub it hard,
I presume?

and all that on the floor,
do you get on your hands and knees on all fours,
and wipe
endlessly?

bowed down
like you're worshipping some god,
one who
certainly doesn't look kindly on you?

and when you try to get up
from those impossibly sticky floors,
does your body stay
as it's trapped in hell?

I hope so.
