A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 70

Day 70: “I’ll Be There For You”

When I turn on my tv

queue up “Friends”

and lay down on the couch,

it reminds me of a simpler time

coming home from school

watching the show with my mom

not understanding any of the innuendos

instead learning new words like

abysmal

except I thought it was a bysmal

like one bysmal

falling in love with the fashion

reluctantly agreeing that I’m a Monica

even though I always wanted to be a Rachel

now I’m proud to be a Monica

that’s growth

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 45

Day 45: “Life in Sitcoms”

Sometimes I wish my life was a sitcom

I’d be funny

I’d have friends

A quirky, misguided group of friends

I’d have a nice place to live

I wouldn’t really have to work

Did I mention I’d be funny?

I could sit in a coffee shop all day

Or build a pillow fort the size of an entire dorm

Or have three guy roommates in a huge loft

Or work in local government

Or prank coworkers at a paper company

Or teach at an elementary school in Philadelphia

Or be a floor worker at a giant store

Or be an overworked nurse at a hospital in Oregon

Or be a rambunctious detective in the NYPD

Or reminisce about being in my twenties to my teenage children

Or be in a family caught up in white collar crime where there’s always money in the banana stand

The list goes on

I already think in sitcom jokes

And I laugh at said jokes

Maybe I should write a tv show

Maybe I’ll just rewatch “Community”
