today...

What do I need to do?  
To not die,
today.

What will I need?
To make it through the end,
of the day.
​
What do I not need?
​To get by,
should I say?

Medicine, just this one pill,
I'm gray.

For you to answer,
the phone.
I've been on hold for so long,
and I need you right now...
please stay.

For this tire to last,
just a bit longer,
maybe one more hour,
or maybe,
with luck,
through to the end,
​of the whole day.
