Should have known when
the first light passed
without a sound,
morning half gone
before consciousness
pried my eyelids open.
Should have known when
my Ninja pushed back
refused to blend
breakfast smoothie
forcing me to sip sludge
through straw
and when the line
on my browser
failed to budge
past the quarter mark
leaving me frustrated
I should have known then
but I ignored it all,
pushed beyond the signs
reached for that infallibility
gene (that never existed)
and almost set the house
on fire – element left on
and that’s when I knew
reflexes not kicking in
exhaustion claiming brain
emotions revved in overdrive
that today was not my day
and I should have stayed in bed.
wow hun hate days where you know you just shoulda stayed in bed, cuz they are a disaster, sending you a hug. xo
