Your RHR (Resting Heart Rate) is Elevated,
19% above average, a Yellow Recovery,
your Doom capitalised by late capitalism,
your guilt and shame acronymised for
neuro-linguistically programmed action:
yer gonna pop it, lose it, miss all
the nice things ya flogged yer life for,
like this wristbound earthbound tricorder,
sighcorder telling ya yer health sucks,
telling ya life sucks… I know my health:
no time, excessive work and food, zero sleep,
my metrics winning intercontinental awards,
my Whoop Age achieving planetary infamy,
tickets online to see me live – how does he do it,
how much more can one person take?
Next dawn my Whoop klaxons, Red Recovery!
Sleep Need off the charts, Sleep Debt off the rails!
Dead man showering, driving to my Dead Man
Daily Brew & Donut Platter; wrist oracle smirking:
Spend some time on recovery activities, if you can.
