Sometimes
you are blessed
with a huge dump,
a biblical emptying.
You feel like
scratching your feet
on the earth
like your dog does,
saying to yourself -
I’m ready,
let’s get on with ‘er.
Just when you thought
you’d pack it all in,
so full of shit you are -
the morning greets you
fresh, light, alive
and you say again to yourself,
"not today”
and begin making more coffee
and a mental list
of things to do
that you really
don’t have to do
sometimes.
