The Curse of Today

Give up on the day.
Just admit defeat
and request a do-over.
It can do no harm
to simply quit and be done
with a day that can do you no good.

Return to bed.
Resist the urge
to crash against the waves of fate
and suck up
the suckiness of the day
but do not despair:

Tomorrow can be a marked improvement
on the crumb bum dumb day
you escape.
You can be free of those errors
by starting fresh.
Just ignore what made today
the wreck it was
and be new and pristine
tomorrow

– unless there are things
from today
that will still need doing tomorrow.
Then you might be fucked.
