"You Know You are Tired If..." Poem by Summer Cheng

        "You know you are tired if..."   

           by Summer Cheng

       You know you are tired if,

        you try to put your contacts in backwards,

       you do not recall,  

        at all,

       rather you said hello,

        to everyone you say today,

        or only imagined it.

         

      You know you are tired if,

       you publish a one-shot story,

      under the title poems,

      by accident,

     and discover it later,

     as you feel like a lazy couch po tator.

      You know you are tired if,

       you  drink coffee,

      and  feel like  you  still,

       can barely stay awake,

        long enough to make sense,

         when you speak to some one,

         under the sun.

        You know you are tired if,

         you  go to quote a verse,

          and you mix up your d's  and f's,

           out of the blew,

           and everyone else laughs on cue,

          as if   they thought it was a joke,

           or two.

           You know you are tired if,

           you sort the socks,

          and find out,

          that you went about,

          with one sock in your drawer,

         that belongs to some one else,

          in your house.

           You know you are tired if,          

           you  call,

          your son by your husband's  name,

         your husband by your son's name,

        and your dog by the others pets name,

        and act as if it is  all the same,

        to you.

     You know you are tired if,

    you get ready for church,

    and the collar to your coat,
