Day 214 – Under the Bed

Tomorrow I’m taking my laptop
under the bed to write in the dark
so no one who lives in my house
but not in my brain can say things like,
“Isn’t that ironic?” before it’s even finished,
and “I expected better from you” like a mean old
turkey grandpa getting his coffee and
giving me sass about how I said I would
not write nasty poems anymore.
