Chuck Audette - Fatigue

fatigue conquers me
running its hands along my body
reminding every ache
that it requires its tribute
only my brain and flailing fingers
cells of resistance, a dogged persistence
freedom fighters, fueled by friendly
contributions of caffeinated coffee
my stomach churns in protest
....already sided with the enemy
