Signs for Objects Already Fallen

 

I feel the weight of it

I’m sure sometimes you do, too

A day that starts out wrong

Things falling over, nothing but

Difficult associations

As we try to pick them up

(things and associations)

Everything drops

And I wonder if

We have the strength

To gather it all in again

And up off the floor

 

In my culture, it should be a Monday

Flush from the weekend, we

Wouldn’t notice anything that

Fell

 

We’d chalk it up (like scores for

darts in pubs) to freedom,

When we could choose

What to do

Only a day ago
