day 5

August typically an odd month for me. 

Every breakup I’ve ever had

Occurred in August. 

Probably from hanging out 

With a bunch of teachers. 

I’ve always dreaded August. 

The only time I didn’t get 

A job I applied for- was in August. 

So I have COVID. 

No worries!

 I’ll just get a lot of things done. 

Clean up my closet. 

Take down the art in my room,

And put up my own. 

I bought some posters

Of some of the National Parks. 

Yeah well…. None of that happened. 

I just kinda laid there. All week. 

Covid sure has the “Muscle Memory”

Of Swine Flu from 2009. 

No begging, please!

His motto is “Always Hungry!”

And “Never Stop Trying 

To Get All The Food!”

Salad Cat. His real name is Smudge. 

So, I put my plate of Salad 

in the microwave 

To keep Mr Nosy Butt Fergus away. 

When I shut the door, I heard a crash. 

It was this Cat Butthole Plate. 

I told Fergus it’s time to go pack. 

We have to move out. 

I broke my housemate’s art. 

Quite on accident. But still. 

Since I’m not ready to move

To Alaska at this time, I went online

And bought another cat butthole plate. 

No one was mad. But still. 

Crazy hair. Lol. 

My toenails hurt like 

Someone pulled them off. 

And I woke up gagging

Last night in my sleep! 

A tooth fell out! It wasn’t loose. 

It just fell out. Bye! 

I got up and spit it out. 

And went back to bed. 

When I can’t sleep,

I say The Hoʻoponopono. 

Sometimes for hours. 

I figure there’s always someone 

I need to thank, forgive, 

Or apologize to. 

Yesterday I had a mild fever. 

Today, so far no fever. 

Amen!
