i cut myself
while shaving this morning

a reckless brutal nick
at my throat
rudely shook me
awake

i bled into crumpled tissue
for nearly an hour
i pled into the rust red
for release from my guilt

the pain stings me still
like your angry slap on my sleeping face

*slap-slap* Wake up, Mike! Next time have a cup of coffee before you shave! Your mornings may be less painful! Good poem!

A really bad way to start the day! The poem was fun to read, even if you were bleeding!

Betty...I wrote this one while laughing at myself for all the trouble I seem to get into...time after time after time.......

I'm glad you saw and enjoyed the humor, it was intentional.*S*

I like the illustration of how abstract events aquire meaning or significance based on the thoughts and emotions that are filling your mind at the time.
