A view from under the pew: a hectic spring day

boss i may have

mentioned this before

but life ain t easy

under a cushionless

church pew

yesterday was one fine

hectic day

it all started the

night before

i had been restless all

day so when i climbed

into my cozy little

matchbox bed i tossed

and turned flipped and

flopped crashed and

thrashed and gnashed

my teeth in despair

i rubbed and rolled and

created so much friction

in my little matchbox

bed that i m surprised

my dreams and i didn t

go up in smoke

in the morning i groggily

groped my way toward

the baptistery for my

morning wake-up plunge

only to be stampeded
