Up And At 'Em

Comforting comforter
covers my head
tired eyes shielded
from morning light’s dread
loath to rise up
leave empty my bed

Today I delegate living
my dream self
will live in my stead
I’ll remain in Nod
where my body won’t ache
my knees have cartilage
and back pain suspended
yes this magical
slumbering village
where no one offends
hence no one’s offended

I know, I know
this just won’t fly
I’m no sleeping dog
that my kin will let lie
I must arise
with my world interact
not perpetually nap
do I look like the cat?
I must demonstrate
my locomotion
else my stillness
will cause a commotion

Well I might as well end it
hmmm let me clarify
the poem I meant
not my auto-extinction
I am no tragic poet
my verse never shall merit
that auspicious distinction
