I could look for a coping strategy
to cope with this Wednesday lethargy
but I really can't be bothered.

Remember when or was it whether?

'pull yourself together' they used to say
as if we used to fall to pieces yesterday

we used to be strong
able to manage and get along
what went wrong?

Too liberal with the paracetamol?
not to cure but **** the pain
and fall apart inside again

such is the way of a Wednesday
reflections from the stainless steel
a breakfast meal
and the real test yet to come is
when the Sun hits 45 degrees
will I say,
Please
do not disturb?
