• If I Make It Out The Door

  I stubbed my toe this morning after falling out of bed,
  and choked on my two aspirin meant to sooth my aching head.

  I fell into my bureau while I was slipping on my drawers
  and then I straight face-planted down head-first upon the floor.

  My comb ripped knots and tangles while pulling out my hair
  and the band of my elastic snapped when I caught my underwear.

  The sting had barely fazed me when it pulled and slammed the door
  that pinched my little finger and it smarted that’s for sure.

  I cut myself while shaving and the aftershave did sting
  I bumped my head on the countertop while picking up my ring.

  I tripped over my shoes and I was back down on the floor.
  I’m sure I can survive the day, if I make it out the door.
