Some Mornings Are Like That


Lawrence Hall


 

Some Mornings are like That

 

The day begins, but not in optimism

Sunrise is tiresome, fresh coffee tastes old

The frost in the fields has been used before

Even the evergreens are evertired

So what will you now do? Give it all up?

Oh, no.  Toothbrush and shaver to the front

A shower, hot, get dressed, laugh at yourself

Lace up your sneakers, however awkwardly

Now touch the Crucifix, take up your work

The day begins – to stand up is a victory
