salad

i think that after about
3 days in the fridge,
a salad starts to go bad.

ideally, it should be eaten before then.

but at the same time,
i don't often feel
the urge to eat that
refridgerated salad.
so the act of eating itself
becomes a chore than i must
complete before the due date.

just another deadline
in a sea of others that
i'm trying not to drown in.
