Wednesday
Wednesday the twenty-something
And I've got a bad feeling
Running late
Out of the window
Over the gate
Bird song sings and the cat is hungry
Lingering with her question-mark tail
Wednesday
And something in the walls is cracked and dripping:
The poor creature in the cupboard cannot bare it:
His lungs are mottled and he can barely
Crawl across the floor at night
Wednesday’s stick like calories, they stay with you,
Like every bad thing you’ve ever done
Like every good idea you can’t remember
Every Wednesday takes a week off the end of your life.
