Fabulous

The sun toasted my brain before dawn

music sing out of tennis shoes,

I nearly though the world would end,

but the bank cancelled it

because they hadn’t sucked my dry enough.

 

Today was a tornado of confusion

a screaming volley of insanity

spent on a hole in my thoughts,

my heart pounded from worry

about disastrous earthquake

that never happens.

 

On a scale of one to ten,

this time was an IOU,

to be cashed in during my dreams.

 

Meanwhile I’m drunk on diet coke,

found a corner in my brain to hide,

grateful for my DVDs

which give me escape,

even found a moment of serenity

between the car repair emergency

and the stress of unexpected bills,

so relaxed at the moment

with it all neatly tucked away,

kept in a box of anxiety moments

marked do not open,

stored with rainbows on the cover

saved from rainy days.
