I can't even bother to go back
and add that apostrophe in dont
some days, mostly nights,
its okay to run out of gas
and not succumb to the pressure of creating
or pretend to have it all together.
that's when you put on a movie
—something familiar—
and check out.
I got up at 5am this morning,
worked out and then worked all day,
so now it is proving tough
to pen poetry about the moon.
