when you are prone to depression

normal sadness
or
sometimes other emotions
can slip into depression
like a damaged joint might slip out of place
without as much force
as a healthy one
and today
I don't feel raw and sad
I feel depressed
cold
vacant
apathetic
I still feel like I might cry
but
it's less specific
more global
and
I would do almost anything
not to have to go to that god-forsaken place
just to crawl back in bed
sleep
did i tell you
I just found out my boss
whose last name is mays
but I didn't ask
even though I wanted to
is like the great nephew of Willie Mays
he sees him at family reunions
every two years
six degrees of separation
or something
