Problems

Today I can feel gravity

as if it just has started

A day I must be mindful of

My words and looks imparted

I do not wish to smile at all

so I may have to fake it

and though it goes against my grain

sometimes I have to take it

It’s not the worst day that I’ve had

but quite far from the best

I’m short on patience, rest, and time

and in no mood for jest

But the hours are not over yet

and perhaps since time remains

I’ll find the gusto to push on

and unsnarl this vicious skein
