Like spiraling a spatula
round the bottom of a
peanut butter jar,
so am I each morning
in a futile attempt of
scraping in hopes of a
slather of meaning on a Monday.
Why is the wholeness
divided into seven daze?
Does a heart beat me, ever?
Are there breaths beneath me?
When do steps become strides?
I lick the spatula with gratitude,
wave it like a wand,
and pray for grace and mercy.
For every day is Monday, really.
On a Monday ‘hump day’ and ‘TGIF’ are nowhere on the radar.
You couldn’t wait to post this on Tuesday. The punch would be gone.
Peanut butter, sliced banana , lightly drizzled with honey on lightly toasted white bread – to die for.
OoooOOOOoooo yeeeaaaaahhhhh!
