S.E.W.

Here’s a little doggerel to get you through the day.

I am doing a lot of shit
To keep myself from losing it;
Poems in the morning, start me right,
After waking several times throughout the night.

Coffee poured into a large mug,
When I notice no one has vacuumed the rug.
But light three candles on the coffee table,
The flickers remind me, I am able

To breath deep, like my Watch reminds me;
To leave abuse and pandemics behind me.
Yoga, spin class, barre, and weights
Keep me moving and feeling great. 

Well, great is too strong a word,
For this blind-folded walk through life.
Just keep swimming
And avoiding the knife.
