MONDAY'S YEAR

But it won’t slow down 

one hand chaser 

round and round 

just one more dramedy 

to bleed out my pen 

And I find the point 

to draw the line 

moves back and over 

risk the past misery 

or risk that it won’t 

be the same old repeats 

Now every week 

I’ve got a pound of flesh 

due in a pack of words 

that I work off 

while old pre-codes 

reel through eternity 

on my idiot’s lantern 

So it spins 

around and down
