A poem that makes no sense
Some nights I go to bed to the sound of some excessively loud engine revving.
Other nights, it’s an eerie silence.
On some nights the radiator is choking,
On yet others, someone is blending a smoothie at midnight.
The world is on fire and nobody cares.
I mean we care, I guess? You more than I.
It’s freezing out and I am yet to take the trash out (or the laundry).
Is work meant to be perennially hectic this week but always quieter next week?
Shit I’m alone again. Where’s my company?
I still can’t sing or dance (not well). Can you?
So if everything sucks, what song was that cuckoo still humming this morning?!
