MY WATCH WAS BLIND


I woke down this morning.
My bed got out of me
& I felt a whole lot better.

I walked out of my house
& the bridge threw me
across the creek.

The library was free.
It crossed at the lights
& asked me to come inside.

I said I had to go to work.
The library said: Go no further,
I'm your perfect workplace.

I opened a book on relationships.
The words turned into chocolates.
I ate some & wondered why I wasn't committed.

My house appeared between the bookshelves
& nagged at me to come home,
so I borrowed the book & we left.

The TV watched as I ate more chocolates.
My bed came trotting out
To look for me, so I hopped into it.

I took a ride into my room
& lay with the book
Hoping that eventually I'd fall...
