another day I couldn't make up my
well
anything
couldn't make up my bed
and I couldn't wake up my head
couldn't summon the dead
and then I couldn't unlock the tools from the shed
couldn't break up the day
couldn't just walk away
couldn't know what to say
couldn't bow or kneel or pray
ttttthhhhhhhheeeeeeennnnnnn
spilled the food
dropped a plate
stubbed my toe
walked in late
forgot my shoes
tripped on a rock
had to walk an extra block
lost my cool
talked too much
acted crude
didn't sing enough
made you mad
thought you
'd cry
like nothing
I said
could come out right
saw a girl
saw a boy
who felt the rain
witnessed love
walked about
apologized
saw a different depth
in your eyes
on the day I couldn't make up my
well
anything
