Something In Between

Friday, and the weekend
Just about to start
Two more days to “lock away”
Before the new week’s start.

Then, I can go again
And try to make it through
Five more days of working
And, planning what to do.

When next weekend comes
Those plans will be for naught
It will be just like this one
(That’s just what I thought!)

Friday, have a few drinks
Then, back home alone
Doing what I always do
My well laid plans, all blown.

Two more days to think about
Things, that I don’t, want to
Dreaming of some by-gone times
And some things, I should do.

But, I know that I won’t
It’s just a crazy dream
Trying to make, the way it is
Just something, in between.

Abe,

This is whimsical and different than so many poems that you share with us. I like it.

yep ... this is the 2nd poem I've read today that (unfortunately) about
'sums it all up' for me as well! I believe there are far, far too many lives
'devolving' into similar situations these days amid this "Runaway American
Dream" ... 'tis a remarkably lonely (isolating), self-referential society ...

applause for this 'penning'!

Perhaps your plans get sidetracked when you run into "a few drinks" Perhaps you should skip the drinks and do something adventurous
and different Like this poem.
