Between the Snoozes

I don’t know why I started this.
A mad dog must have bitten me.
A worm inside my brain, for sure.
At least before I started this
I only had wishful regrets.
I saw myself in better light.
As someone who can pull this off
If only he can somehow start.
Now, look at me. I started. Failed.
I see myself in clearer light.
As someone who can’t pull this off.
I could pretend another day
As someone who can pull this off.
But what about tomorrow, hunh?
Again, Reality will knock.
Again, I’ll look inside and weep.
At least, today there’s gratitude.
At least, today I see a spark.
But what about tomorrow, hunh?
Resentments will replace this spark.
I don’t know why I started this.
A mad dog must have bitten me.
A worm inside my brain, for sure.
