Poem-A-Day: Day 309

Forget It, and Call Off

some days
the last best idea
is giving up
and forgetting
what just happened

what just happened
is the worst day
since the last
day remembered
from yesterday

from yesterday
nothing has added up
it has piled up
equaling the regret
for ever having got up

for ever having got up
this morning
the punishment lasts
eternities past
the last thing worth forgetting

the last thing worth forgetting
is the first best idea of the day
the first inclination to phone it in
to hang up and forget about work
and just sit idle sipping life in
