New Day


Some days, take this morning
I don’t give damn;
All cold clock stubbed toe long face.

Other days, like yesterday
Whiskey warm
All nuzzle neck sloppy kissed hugged up.

Out back, the chicken’s constant
Crooning like
All ‘ere ‘e is cracked corn fed bag.

And the dog never fails
Pleading eyes
All won’t take no with wagging tail.

An’ how ‘bout you
On this new day
All up an’ at ‘em out the door?
