YSL: Poetry Friday

The Sun Rises
It is dark when I get up
It is dark while I swim
Why did I paint my toes
Such a cheerless shade of mauve?


Food Joy
'Twas late one night
post-vegetarian dinner, you see
I tossed and turned;
Peeked at the clock (it was three)
When finally I fell
into a deep, deep sleep
I dreamed
(most regrettably, it seems)
That
I
Ate
A Meatloaf
'Twas wrapped in Bacon,
with a capital B; then sprinkled liberally with parsley
(Why? That I could already eat)
There was a nice fluffy dish
of mashed potatoes beside.

But then I woke up,
drooling and lonely.

No more! The chains of the veggie lifestyle
have been cast aside
Now I eat what I want to
and set the guilt aside

for later.

Lousy Day
I want not
to work out
Today.
