...tuesday is tired of dying this tuesday died just like all the tuesdays before a pick a fight with me friday starts the funeral cycle next comes the working really hard to stay away from you saturdays the house is clean and the pretend we are happy sundays and the monday morning as i get ready for work promise that i will leave on tuesday i can't take this anymore but the leaving never comes if i had packed my things i say on tuesday like i promised instead of driving to work and i shake my head i should be packing but forward momentum takes me the unfamiliar of leaving slowly losing ground coffee and good morning's familiar greeting wins another day and tuesdays starlight mournful wailings keep me company as we walk in wednesday morn the next two days' I told you so's give arguing an ear full every week thursday night's not enough sleep exhaustion sets the stage for friday's usual fighting and i am ready to promise again by saturday the house is all clean so you won't say i left it dirty sunday's pretend family tells me that i am right this can't go on it just isn't fair and i know i have to do something soon monday is losing faith in tuesday and tuesday is tired of dying [This message has been edited by jellybeans (edited 02-27-2001).] |

For some reason, this seems very appropriate for Fat Tuesday... Well done! |

Jellybeans, Sounds like a bag of licking (the B meaning A severe set back or defeat) not licorice to me. But I enjoyed the read. Sy |

'Monday is losing faith in Tuesday' I love this line. And the idea of the whole poem. |

An infinite sadness washes over me that Tuesday is still so tired... for a heart such as yours deserves joy never ending. The poem is superb, my friend. |
