welcome to monday

even though i didn't need to shave this morning
i missed my train by mere seconds

welcome to monday

i got a paper cut putting the magazine back in my attaché

welcome to monday

the retractable badge thingy has a snag in it
and won't come out more than two inches

welcome to monday
to rediscovering
how the most inane... stupid... trivial... difficulties
can make you feel so far away


welcome to monday

she must be new
she pushed the button for seven
but seven's the parking garage
the coffee shop's on eight
now she'll spend all morning embarrassed

welcome to monday

hundreds, thousands of drivers severely delayed
all four lanes, closed

welcome to monday

somebody lost their life just north of branch avenue
