i’m full of resolve
my boss appreciates me
promotion to come

the stapler’s missing
a cup with friday’s tea dregs
hello, new work week

fragile like icing
bittersweet as mugwort pud
your first morning kiss

sleepy headed youth
lives in mawkish, dreamy fog
nearly wets his pants

there are many things
i just cannot comprehend
why give them head space
why enshrine them in my heart
go ahead and call me fool

i wish only peace
serenity for the soul
merely do my best
i don’t need to beat a drum
nor have any notice me

someone conquers mars
someone sells bad bananas
someone invents worth
none of this matters to me
remember? i am a fool

you can laugh at me
but when you’ve become bankrupt
(i don’t mean money)
i’ll be gone, so far away
basking in another day
