Saturday Sorrow

Keep your tote bags in
No brunches for you.
And no long stem, purple carnations either
No resting wine glasses or dangling forks
Or longish conversations, either

You're perhaps, not worth it, after all.

Run errands, you!
Doctor appointments, medicine store hauls
Pending gynaec visits, the psychiatrist awaits
Kitchen's all a leak, call the plumber will you
Door's come off it's hinges, so have you

The house is falling onto us, what-do-we-do

More errands, some.
What about some deep cleans
While doing which, time's a plenty
To regret, while you clean
Thing's you've done and thing's you've not done

No Saturdays for you,
Only the sorrow.
No movies, no writing
Keep your creative corner 
In your 100% imaginary artisanal balcony
Shun the jute rug, which you never bought

Decay. Slowly though
Without mercy 
Lose yourself, irretrievably 
Feel your temples heat with temper
What-do-we-do what-do-we-do
