And Welcome to It
I wake up half in pain
My neck is sore, my head full
Maybe I simply didn’t sleep
Enough
The car is at the shop
I’m nervous about that
It could be totaled, technically
I’d go without until
Something else could be arranged
Besides, I like my car
I have to park it on the street
Where someone else could hit it
And she did
I say she to be accurate
A he could have hit it just as well
And added male ego to it
I have a nice, new rental in an alley
And took collision out for it
I know, it’s money sucked into a vacuum
Of a service that will go unused
A gimmick of the company
But at the moment I’m gun-shy,
Which is why the new car
And it’s new
Will be at rest a ways away
I’ll take a walk to and fro,
Which been my week so far
I hope yours is easier
I do have food and a water filter
Fall is on the way
And it is trite and true
That things are tough all over
My world of one, as
It’s one, is not singly terrible, while
On a world of nine billion
It is worse
And it is glorious
Elsewhere
