here's what i did today.
i read a book and there wasn't nothin' in the least redeeming about it
except you know, it took me away to another place
without explaining to me what i should eat
or drive
or why we humans are just killing the earth,
stake through the heart and all that,
and it actually had people who were heroes
and when i say heroes i mean women too,
and none of them wore high heels,
and nobody was an environmental activist or even a democrat.
i built a tiny little box and i stuck a heart right on the front
to remind me where to put all the love when i'm mad at it;
that way when my anger goes away i won't forget where i hid that love
and i can find my way back to feeling good
without swearing i know i put it here!
i made a flower.
i got a library card so i could kindle up free books,
then disappointingly discovered that what that means
is mostly summertime novels all year long.
i photoshopped and crossword puzzled
and i ate my lunch with a knife
because wendy's apparently thinks that's all you need with a baked potato.
tomorrow i'm building a tiny little box with nothing on the front
so i have a place to put my aggravations.

Amen, think I will do the same and put my irritation way from view.
