Wasted Day

This is a wasted day,

Bloated and fat with un-use.

Wringing my hands and with a heavy sigh

I mourn the loss of time.



This is a dark day,

Soggy like a child’s sock after a day of puddle jumping.

I find myself staring at drops of rain, transfixed,

As they dance off the branches of firs.



There is a hum today,

It is the hum of industry passing me by.

I am not studious this afternoon,

I am lazy and weighty with sloth.
