One of Those Days ( Poetry )

It was just one of those days,
All I wanted to do after waking up
was return back to bed;
I wanted to disconnect
the answering machine,
take the phone off the hook;
then sigh in relief...
It was just one of those days.

Though daylight peeked through
the closed blinds
and bird chirped conversationally
outside my window,
I trudged across the naked floor
to the bathroom,
flipped the light switch up, lit a cigarette
and engaged the toilet.

Afterwards, it was a cup of coffee,
a wheat muffin - another cigarette;
then a return to the bathroom to wash my face,
brush my teeth. Yeah,
It was just one of those days.
