a long day
when you forget to wind up your alarm clock
causing you to wake up fifteen minultes later
than usual
when you find yourself
winded
after your morning jog
without knowing why
when you go through your morning routine
automatically
like your little wind-up monkey toy
when you show up at work
with your hair beautifully
wind-blown
after having spent twenty minutes
making it look perfect
when the last speaker in your last meeting
is long winded
on the day you wanted to sneak out early
when you drive home
on that long
windy road
just so you can smell
the fresh
cow
manure
when you finally get your
second wind
as you crawl between
your silken sheets
when you find yourself
in the fetal position
beside your favorite chair
with a moderate glass of
red wine
seeping into the carpet
and you
just try to unwind.
