“Positive Thinking saved my Life”

“A silver lining”, “brighter side,” —
The fragrances of fairy fart —
Are great for textbook moral science,
Or even fortune cookie lines,
But spare me those on Monday morns
When all I see is pending work
From people taking happy hours
A bit too early Friday last.
My mind is not a clear pond.
The shit they’ve dumped is bobbing on.
The water’s gray with moldy green.
In it, the only good I’ve seen:
A Narcissus won’t smile, but frown.
Won’t fall into himself and drown.
