new day
new morn
doesn’t feel
any different
than the 1 before
the aches
and pains
feel the same
the distance
to the coffee pot
hasn’t changed
the mirror reflects
an image
grown to ignore
today’s
the same
so
surely
recognize nothing left to lose
winning is the game
choosing
to take a second helping
of life
a decision that lurks within
today’s
the same
so
piling more & more
upon the plate
throwing out the bait
raking in change
and
give in
to
a minor spat
today’s
the same
so
clearly seeking
a new approach
or
merely searching
for a hidden roach
lay back
take a toke
and laugh
a little more
the smoke screen
won’t change the view
it’s a
new day
new morn
and it
doesn’t feel
any different
than the 1 before
