My Proxy

My proxy is on overload
but my hands are strong and my
friends all say that I have a strong back
and good mind. I have occasional power surges
and the random "I can't do this, I'm too freaked out"
moments. But they are growing ever rarer
now that the weather is warmer
and the leaves are actually making shade
where I once sought the insane comfort of wind.
If living in Brooklyn will suffice as my proxy
then I am alive and comfortable
as my proxy will allow.
