Get down, before you fall down

Well fuck, what a miserable morning.

Wake up, have a smoke.

Jerk off, get dressed.

Coffees in the thermos.

Head out the door,

Slip and fall.

Fuckin ouch! 1st frost of the year.

Broken thermos.

Fuck who cares.

I gotta go watch a two year old

Who doesn't know their ass,

From a hole in the ground.

Persistent baby babble.

Ugh I want to scream but I hold back.

Always wanting whatever is out of reach.

Damn kids.

Slipped down the stairs, busted my ass and my thermos.

Sounds like a true story. I enjoyed your pain. I'm odd that way, having received five major blows to the head from signs falling to low overhangs, and 2 ice or sidewalk hopscotch back falls and hits. This poem sings to me of my life and who I wish I could blame for all that stuff my journey took me to. :D Lady A
