Modern + Monastic

prompt: modern monastic

As I enter the monastery of a Saturday night at home
committed as I have chosen to become
no longer belonging to the early morning hours
I will fast in the form of pan made meals for two
living simply among the cushions and pillows of the sofa
reflection and thought divided between what to watch
when I finally recline into reflection
I will cast judgement across the reality contestants
pray the sitcom cast finds love
listen intently to the documentary
my vows replay as subtitles on my eyelids
the subscription services my saviors
