Down and out
I do not need a doctor to tell me:
I am in the shitter
have melancholia
insomnia
am irritable
laugh on the outside
cry on the inside
feel worthless
helpeless
believe others are watching
me
have headaches
backaches
ingrown toenails
feel inadequate.
I know I am in the shitter
when I :
buy lottery tickets
check my horoscope
think about going to
a fortune teller
am in bed for more than
three days
or
in good spirits for more
than three days
smile at the neighbors
say have a nice day
am nice to Christian
Scientists selling
pamphlets at the door.
but
most of all I know I am in the shitter
when I think of calling you
or
reminisce about the good times we had . |
