It Was A Beautiful Day
The Sky's Very Blue
I Woke Up Early
Around 8 a.m.
It Was Starting
To Feel Warm
After The Morning Stretches
& Banana
I Sipped My Tea
As I Strained To Listen To My Neighbors
Television
It's Almost Always Either
The Smell Of Bacon
The Rustling Of The Pots n Pans
In The Sink
Or Them Chatting About
The Price Of Beer
Or Reliving A High School Memory
You Better Believe
The Television Was On In The Background
Today Was One Of Those Obnoxious
Morning Shows
That Normal People
Have On
While They Go About Getting Ready
To Start Their Day
Todays Early Morning Program
Was Focused On Cinco de Mayo
& How To Celebrate It
While Keeping A Reasonable Social Distance
When I Lost Interest
Drinko de Mayo
I Thought To Myself
It Fell On Taco Tuesday This Year
The Year Of The Quarantine
& I Don't Miss
Seeing Mass Cases Of Modelo
Stacked 6 Feet Tall
& On Sale
& A Bunch Of
I-Dont-Give-A-Fucks
Buying It All Up
Today I Saw People
Standing In Line
Waiting For Their Turn At The Cashier
Face Covered Half Assed
With A Design Or Logo On It
Or Maybe Even A Funky Pattern
To Buy Beer & Some Chicken & Corn
To Throw On The Grill
Maybe A Pack Of Cigarettes
Cause
Aint No Rona Virus Gonna Stop Me From Gettin'
Fuuuuuucked Up
Said The Dude Standing In The Next Line Over
Rockin' Dirty Socks With His Chanclas
