Pour me another stimulant
Mondays are
so
gloopy
Despite best intentions to
get
shit
done
moments glom together
like stale, fused ju-jubes
brain
moving
slowly
….
tick
tock
….
tick
tock
….
molasses
style
until big sticky chunks of time
have passed suddenly
without checkmarks on the to-do list
meanwhile the world
dives
gleefully
into
productivity
eliciting guilt from this
dragging
viscous
soul
Pour me another stimulant.
I'll catch up
sometime
on Tuesday afternoon.

that's exactly how i felt this morning. It was refreshing. Usually i m filled with blanket anxiety and (false-)guilt tripping neurons in despair over how much i m not getting done at any given monday moment, but today in a surprising twist i just said, naw, i m gonna enjoy not getting anything done today, and with that, and in utter and complete complete sincerity, everything suddenly seemed okay.
And then my car phone rang and suddenly it became apparent to me that i d mysteriously "exercised foresight" by setting things up on friday, and lo and behold, productivity happened 🤤

There was going to be more to this poem... about acceptance and music and poetry and finally waking up... but frankly, it wasn't coming together and I had the 50 words I needed for the NaPo comp, so I ended it here!!
Maybe I'll finish it one day...likely not. I agree, the key to Mondays is not to fight them.
Thanks for stopping by!

Mondays suck, you just have to submit & let them happen until they've had their way. 😉

Dear K,
Bowing in complete admiration for perfecting the description of a Monday. Dreaded. Monday. And we made it. It’s nearly Tuesday. Love the truth of the subject and the formatting is ingenious! H🌷

Thanks H, when I feel like the words are lacking heft, I start playing with formatting. Not always easy on this platform, tbh. It's Tuesday! We survived!

I like this very much.
Doing a job K...
We who are about to die,
we salute you...
(On a side note... Em has a car phone.?.:)))

Haha, wondered about the phone too!
Thanks Cipher, I'm hoping some more substantial writes will eventually emerge.
