“Queasy Like Sunday Mourning”
Easy like Sunday morning,
But not on Sunday eve.
The week taunts from the morrow,
Another night of grief.
Early morning meeting,
An uncommitted team,
The boss will come in storming,
Make an example out of me.
Outlook grim, Inbox full,
Red flag limit reached.
Prioritizing means nothing,
My to-do list under siege.
Expect the worst, survive the week,
Friday far away.
Next Sunday night, paralyzed.
A cycle of dismay.
I need the check, but hate the job.
Insurance isn’t free.
I would call out, but my boss is off.
So it all falls on me.
Sunday night begins the dread.
My mind will never cease.
As long as work is drudgery,
I’ll never be at ease.
I want my fucking Sunday back.
A feel depression forming.
I hate this anxious feeling.
Queasy like Sunday Morning.
A very special thanks to EV. We all get a case of the Sundays. Ain’t no fun in that.
40/40: Summer Poem Slam-a-bam is a project in which people have joined me for 40 days and 40 nights of on-demand poetry. They have submitted the concepts, ideas, and subjects; I’ve done the rest.

Welcome to my effort. Yes, as a great procrastinator, it requires great effort to stay focused on something productive that matters to me. I’ll find any old excuse to traipse from project to project, and I rarely end up at the place I started. I find this maddening, and exhaustive. So it is with high hopes, and a greater grasp of self-awareness, that I embark upon staying the course so to speak.
I enjoy writing. Be it blogs, fiction, poetry, etc. I love the craft and the act of creation, the art in and of itself, for it’s own sake and end. I am happy to be able to do it.
Some stats:
Born: March 1974

Don Bosco Technical High School, Boston MA
University of Massachusetts at Lowell, Lowell MA
Bunker Hill Community College, Charlestown MA
DePaul University, Chicago, IL
North Virginia Community College, Arlington VA

Place of residence: Somewhere in the land of metro Boston. It’s vaguely familiar and becoming home more and more by the day, but when you come from “The Town” all else fails by comparison.
Favorite Color: I’m partial to all forms of blue.
Favorite Author: c’mon! don’t expect me to answer that, there are too many.
I enjoy memories of playing 80’s Atari better than playing any advanced gaming system that exists today.
Some day:
Hope to be recognized for my paper clip collection. As well as my 27 rejected applications to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailiey Clown college.
