February 18: Big Boy Pants

Must I put on my big boy pants again

today? I’ve grown weary of wearing

them these many years, and they’ve grown

threadbare while I play the role of what

I imagine a grown-up to be day after day.

Alas I fear they’re all I’ll have to wear

this side of oblivion, this side of the grave.

Come now, my lad, one leg at a time.

February 9: Too Much Nose Blowing

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
