some days I just ain’t got a poem in me
like today when I spent half the day
in a t-shirt and boxers listening to grown men
talk about baseball and boxing
wandered around Journal Square
in search of something sweet
then fell asleep on the couch while
reading an adventure novel
only to awaken hours later to find
I’d missed two different concerts
on days like these the best I can do
is tell you what happened and hope
that somewhere in there you’ll spot
a few things that seem like poetry
