Is it Tuesday or Sunday tomorrow?

I did not drink yesterday

and I did not paint

that red enamel on

the charcoal grill

that was just a coincidence

I did not wake

or over sleep

I emptied the melon chunks from my mind

the ants were getting bad

the ashtray is always kept

dumped

and I have hairs in my brow that need plucked

and some to peacock

I have this job

that loves hating me

and I really have to get around

to putting in that screen

the June bugs are horrible

I did not drink yesterday

Update:

And BTW, even if you pull their wings off first they're still horrible. They taste nothing like your buddy says they do.

    Mixtli, I read your intriguing post and was trying to formulate a comment, when this came to me, don't ask me why, I couldn't tell you, but it seems to be a response to your post on some emotional level.....

    It's there...

    I sense it,

    lingering on the edge of

    somewhere

    waiting to be discovered.

    I can't name it,

    shape it,

    identify

    it

    but, it's there.

    And when

    I comprehend

    what it actually is,

    I'll reach out

    to make it

    mine.

    I love your poem. I love the part about the red enamel on the charcoal grill. Where have you been? There will always be a few wild hairs, even when the days are dry. Great poem, great to see you.

    Sometimes when we drink to much we miss days they just disappear they have no colour they have no beginning and no end and your thoughts just fade from view .. you were drunk 'yesterday'

    and your drunk again to day .. and if you don't stop drinking you wont no if its Tuesday tomorrow or not.

    Great poetry thought provoking thank you

    Yes, and yesterday was not Sunday either! Barfing to clear the mind is always good.

    I like it, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because it works with vivid images.

    I find a melon-baller works best...

    It's hard to corral how that must feel.

    You did.
