A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 213

Day 213: “Early Night”

---

I swore I’d go to bed earlier today

I swear I swore I did

---

But I got home from work

Had to decompress

And hours later

My pink finger had a dent

from holding my phone

And my thumb was sore

From scrolling

---

Then I got it back on track

I planned

I cooked

I worked out

---

Then I had to shower

Get ready for bed

---

By the time I laid down

To write this poem

It was after 1 am

---

While definitely not an early night

I guess that’s early in the day

---

I swear I’ll try again tomorrow
