For Tuesday

For Tuesday

This is a poem for Tuesday.

whom I forgot until today.

How could I forget Tuesday?

It’s the day we put the garbage out.

The day I hit bottom with nothing to do.

I think it was the day I felt totally use-less and wanted to go to sleep?

But I did grocery shop and spent $90.  Bravo Tuesday!

I did manage to get dressed and go see a friend. Another Bravo for Tuesday!

I did my civic duty and watched the presidential debates (almost unbearable).

How come no one asked the hard questions—the ones that weren’t being answered?

I wanted to be in the audience-- demanding-- 

That would have made me remember Tuesday.

But now is better than never in this case.  

Although I know I always have Tuesday next week.
