Poem: One of those days



It was one of those days
Where the darkside Jiminy Cricket


Kept landing on my shoulders
To whisper redrum redrum...


You don't have to take that.
It was one of those days


Where my smile felt like a rictus
and I lied every time someone asked


How are you?
It was one of those days


I'd rather have skipped
But I trudged on


Dragging my wooden leg
Behind me.

It was one of those days
Where I wouldn't have been shocked


To have a Buddhist tell me
Don't get mad; get even.
