Four days off

Four days off

I just want to sleep

I don’t have events

I care to keep

I am tired in my body

I don’t want to think

Of dates and parties

Day one

Four days off

Is time for laundry

Buying supplies

Not parties

I need to take a long shower

Staying healthy is my power

Had ice cream

Watched a movie

Day two

Four days off

Being off work is really groovy

It snowed five inches

Now it is hot as hell

What’s going on

I cannot tell

Day three

Four days off

Do I miss anyone?

Do I call friends?

Do I want to have fun?

I don’t want to

Is this the end?

Day Four

Peace sets in

Real sleep hunkers down

I can rest now

End of fakery

End of folly

Love and contentment

Grace without resentment

End of my

Four days off

Four days off

Four days off

Four whole days off

New life starts

Tomorrow.
