Sick Day

I like this change of pace
of my body breaking down to force itself to rest already
of my mind getting so numb and tired
that it pukes out every other bullshit thought
and focuses instead on FIVE THINGS THAT NEED DOING
today.

No arguments, no second-guessing,
No passive-aggressive behavior or “what if” thoughts
No inuendos, no rumors,
and certainly no TV shows that run in circles

Hell, there’s barely enough time and energy to go down
the FIVE THINGS checklist, get them done, do them right,
take some knockout medication, and go to sleep.

If anyone complains,
I either did it wrong and will go back and fix it without hesitation
or they can bite me.
