[Critique Group 1] Mary-Jo Submission for Next Week

[Mary-Jo Lord]

Here is my poem for next week. I'll also attach the file.

 

Mary-Jo

 

On Second Thought

 

I think I'll go back to bed.
I'll call in sick, apathetic, or
temporarily missing.

 

I'll put my iPod on shuffle and
drift off into a migraine and drug induced fog where
dreams come in vivid brief fragments.  I'll focus on the words of a song and
promise to make the dream fragments whole and
reveal their meaning

Later.

 

I'll get up late, doddle over email and
Facebook.  I'll exercise and
clean out my closet.

 

I'll read a good suspense novel and
listen to the rain.

 

On second thought,
I think I'll skip exercise and satisfy my
insatiable craving for starch and greasy food

 

I've grown comfortable with the
disorganized, organization of the closet so,
I'll leave it for another day.

 

And, my dreams will be forever fragmented.
