a poem I wrote at work today

[tigriswolf]

So, I got an email with this prompt: Today is the most important day, you are the only one that can do anything with “your” day. Your happiness depends on you. Give me your best 12 lines…


This is what I wrote:


Today you wake from a nightmare;
the zombies were out again last night.
At least this time they weren't joined by vampires.

Brush your teeth, dress, brush your hair.
Make yourself into a lovely lie
and go look for a job. Again. Like always.
Hey - maybe this time you'll get lucky.
(Probably not. You gave up hope ages ago.)

Every day without zombies is a good day.
(Right?)

Are we happy now?
Keep that smile on your face.
