Get up,
Get dressed,
Go to work,
Come home,
Cook and clean,
Go to bed.

Get up,
get dressed,
go to work,
come home,
cook and clean,
GO TO BED.

Bend and shape words.
Construct a mechanism for flight.
Launch into the heavens on a literary satellite.
Travel on vernacular wings to foreign places.
Rescue a town from villainous fiend's faces.
Invent the perfect amorous beginning and end.
Fabricate miscreants in predicaments to apprehend.

There are so many points of view.
I'm not sure where to start.
Then again, it's late anyway.
I'm too tired.
I'll try another day.
Later.
Maybe later?

get up
get dressed
go to work
come home
cook and clean
go to bed

get up
get dressed
go to work
come home
cook and clean
go to bed.

One day I'll place pen to paper.
I know I'll make my mark.
But today I'm just so tired.
It's hard to know where to start.
A block stands in my way.
It's larger than the sun.
The time has already passed
and once again
my words are
forever trapped
in perpetual silence.

Get
up
Get
dressed
Go
to
Work
come
Home
cook
And
clean
Go
to
Bed
