Misfortune is wearing pajamas

Misfortune is wearing pajamas
a two-piece set, flannel.

Remedy this long grind


So tired.

Misfortune is shuffling around in slippers
fuzzy, indulgent.

Dim lights. Teeth-brushing lull; removing slime of laborious events, residue of the grease-for-lunch routine.

Sick feeling. Penetrating exhaustion.

But what a feat has been accomplished! Rest is required.


Long, satisfied sigh. Bed.

But before sinking in, one more effort: click off the last light.

Disable the alarm.

Sleep on, Dreamless.
