I'm Writing a Poem After Waking Up Still a Little Bit Drunk on a Monday Morning


As is best when you're hungover

I'll start by taking a deep breath

and reminding myself this does

not need to be my finest effort,

so we'll see how this goes,

but to be honest my brain is as dead

as my feet after that race yesterday

and I'm wondering what's left in me

that this exhausted and partially drunk

space meatball that I am

is still yearning to say?

And it's that of all the feats I could achieve

-- running, writing, creating a robot army

to conquer the galaxy --

what I really wish I could do

is hug the biggest, fattest tree

to show you how wide

my arms will reach, my love can be.
