fall back

poetry

give me an extra
hour two cups of
coffee and stand back
i transform into
a domestic superhero
vanquishing tasks
that have been
delayed for weeks

i slept in
mowed the lawn
cleaned the house
washed both cars
bought groceries
and it’s only 3:30pm

give me one more
hour and the world
would be mine
(or at least there’d
be a clean toilet).
